Copy Current Chrome URL

Copy the active tab’s address

This Rule is useful when you want to share the page you are viewing without focusing Chrome’s address bar and copying it manually. It retrieves the active tab URL and places that value on the clipboard for your next paste.

When: Press the configured shortcut, initially Option + Space. Do: Get Current Chrome Tab, then copy its Active Tab URL output. There is no If Condition. The Rule targets Google Chrome’s active tab rather than a selected link, a Safari page, or every tab in the window.

Configure and try it

1. Import with Open this Rule in Rulr and review Hotkey Pressed. Assign a distinct shortcut if another app or imported sample already uses Option + Space.
2. Allow Rulr to control Google Chrome when macOS requests Automation permission. Grant Accessibility access if you need to record a replacement shortcut.
3. Open an ordinary webpage in Chrome and select the tab you want to share. Run the Rule, then paste into a temporary note.
4. Compare the pasted address with Chrome’s address bar. Switch to a second tab and repeat to verify that the Action reads the active tab at execution time.

The active tab’s URL is an Action output, so keep the clipboard step connected to it when editing the Rule. The Variables library explains where component outputs are listed; the Mac automation guide introduces passing results between steps.

Requirements and limits

Get Current Chrome Tab requires Rulr Pro. Google Chrome must be installed with a tab available, and its Automation permission must be enabled for Rulr.

The result is only a URL: it does not include page text, a screenshot, or a title. Copying replaces the previous clipboard content and does not automatically send the link anywhere. For a title and URL formatted together, use Copy Page as Markdown Link.
