====== Get Touch Bar Selection Action ======

The //Get Touch Bar Selection// action (v8+) lets you display a set of buttons in the Touch Bar and process the result.

The buttons are separated by vertical bars (|) just like the [[action:Prompt_for_User_Input#Popup_Field|Prompt for User Input]] Popup fields.  So, for example `F__Fail|C__OK|B__Good|A__Excellent` would display the four buttons Fail, OK, Good, Excellent and return a value of F, C, B or A.

Note that unlike the [[action:Prompt_for_User_Input#Popup_Field|Prompt for User Input]] Popup fields, there are no separators and no concept of the initially selected field.

==== Output of Results ====

The resulting button can be:

  * Ignored.
  * Displayed in a floating window.
  * Displayed briefly in a Notification.
  * Displayed large across the screen.
  * Typed in to the current selection.
  * Pasted in to the current selection.
  * Saved to a variable.
  * Saved to the system or a Named Clipboard.
