[@Traf063]

Thanks, I really needed that tip for making clipboard a default!

[@lucasmacinhome]

Awesome, glad you liked it!

[@grantemerson5932]

I didnt initially see Clipboard as an option. I had to search for it and basically add it to the menu

[@mirralph]

Just use the native screenshot app on your mac in other apps.

Does not work when pasting into notes , any reason why ? Also have clipboard selected in Options

[@tuminyembe]

Loved it 😅.

[@lucasmacinhome]

You are welcome!

[@pawanperla]

can we make clipboard as default and at the same time the screenshot must save in a specified folder?

[@lucasmacinhome]

There's no way I know of to have the screenshot go to both the clipboard and also a folder... that is asking it to go to two places at once. No setting for that, that I am aware of!

[@SpryBrent]

I want to capture a part of the screen, mark it up and then paste the new resulting image. Is that possible?

[@lucasmacinhome]

Yep! It sure is.

OMG - how can anybody work with such ... - Screenshot, Copy, Paste - that is in Windows. In Mac you can do this with 4-key-"shortcut"; if you dont break your fingers, of course.

[@VictorZucchini]

It’s easy. We were trained on finger version of twister since our childhood 😅

[@lucasmacinhome]

Yep some of these key combos are complex piano chords...

[@gbxgbxgbx]

kind of disappointed apple did it like that

[@olegstupak7687]

This is insane. Why would one need to press 4 (s!c) buttons to achieve this!
