Automatically Save a Screenshot to the Clipboard on macOS!

Hey! So we all take screenshots, whether it is send to someone or keep for your own references. Sometimes, we need to copy those screenshots to our clipboard to then send them to someone else. Instead of taking a screenshot, right-clicking, and pressing “Save to Clipboard”, here is a cool feature, you can automatically save it to the clipboard! Here is how!

Go to system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > screenshots and look at this part:

It may say a different keyboard shortcut, but you can customise that. I like mine to be simple, and that is why I put it to Cmd + Shift + S!

Is it that simple! You should definitely try it! πŸ˜€
