"Many ways to go about doing this. The easiest would probably be to send Ctrl + c to store it in the clipboard, then write the clipboard contents to a text file:

^!p::
path= C:\
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Send ^c
clipwait
InputBox, location, save, Enter a filename:
FormatTime, TimeString,,MMM-dd-yyyy
FileAppend, %clipboard%, %path%\%location%-%TimeString%.txt
Clipboard := ClipSaved
ClipSaved=
return

Ctrl + Alt + p will trigger this. Let me know how it works I just hacked it together quickly."
