Copy title of the active window to the clipboard in Microsoft Windows

Question

I am looking for a Microsoft Windows program that can copy the title of the selected window to the clipboard. Preferably, with a keyboard shortcut. Any license or price is fine.

Answer 1

You can use a script to do it with AutoHotkey (free scripting language for desktop automation on Windows):

^!l::
WinGetActiveTitle, Title
Clipboard = %Title%
return

Answer 2

You can use a voice command in Dragon NaturallySpeaking (non-free).

Code from PGilm:

'
'   get window title
'
Sub Main
    Clipboard ( GetWindowTitle )
End Sub
'
'   Use these Windows Functions for Getting an active Window title
'
Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
'
Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" _
    Alias "GetWindowTextA" ( ByVal hwnd As Long , _
        ByVal lpString As String , ByVal cch As Long ) As Long
'
'   GetWindowTitle
'   (Gets an active Window title)
'
Function GetWindowTitle() As String
    Dim x As Integer
    Dim TitleText As String * 300
    Dim hw As Long
    hw = GetForegroundWindow()
    x = GetWindowText ( hw , TitleText , Len ( TitleText ) )
    GetWindowTitle = Trim ( Left ( TitleText , x ) )
End Function
