This notification would become unnecessary
You can copy to the clipboard (via a Copy button or Ctrl+C) and annotate directly from the rectangle selection mode in the upcoming version 23.04. The notification is intentionally still there though since it has a lot of other uses. |
Created attachment 158005 [details] Suggested UI I'd like to make a usability suggestions inspired from Flameshot. I believe they would great improve the ergonomics of Spectacle. The use case ic taking screenshots for pasting in other tools, more and more of which support pasting from clipboard directly: online collaboration tools (GitHub, Slack, Discord, Gmail, Trello etc.), document editing (LibreOffice Writer), other image editors, IM programs like Facebook Messenger etc. I'd say that in 90% of the cases I need a screenshot, I can paste it directly, without needing to save it. Having an option to do so from Spectacle directly would be great. Right now if I want the image in the clipboard, I have to press Enter, click the Spectacle popup notification, choose Copy (which doesn't actually copy the image to the clipboard, but that's a moot bug).
