Description Octopuss 2017-09-18 21:51:51 UTC

Please, add the option to save screenshot to be copied to clipboard automatically. Use case: posting screenshots from screen in minimum keys
Prereq: have spectacle's activity "Take rectangular region screenshot" on a hotkey
steps: 
1. pressing PrtScr
2. selecting a region 
3. double click
4. returning back to chat program/tiket system/anywhere where pasting pictures available
5. press pasting key (ctrl+v)

This would be nice. FWIW macOS has this feature already: if you add the ctrl modifier when you take a screenshot, the screenshot gets added to the clipboard instead of saved to a file.
