You do this by using the Options menu in Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ 5 You could actually eliminate the floating thumbnail entirely if you wished - this also makes the save to Desktop a bit faster. You could at this point send it straight to Preview app [which would lose it from the clipboard - there's no win/win here )Īll of these choices are the same whether you use Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ 3 or Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ 4.įrom either of these, adding Ctrl ⌃ to the keyboard shortcut will send the image directly to Clipboard rather than file Ĭmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ 5 has its own prefs which you can change once it opens, rather than by adding Ctrl ⌃ This, however, will redirect it entirely & it will no longer save to desktop as well. If you want the initial floating thumbnail to go to the copy buffer, right click it before it vanishes & select Save to Clipboard. You can from here click the Share icon, top right & send it to Preview. It opens in a version of the QuickLook app Paste to a folder it will paste the file itself to a web page it will paste the link to the file to a text app it will paste the file's title and to an image editor it will paste the image itself.Ĭlicking the screenshot floating thumbnail doesn't actually open it in the Preview app. The screenshot app does one or the other, not both, so to have both you must actually allow it to finish saving the file to Desktop then open it in something you can copy to clipboard from, such as Preview.Ī slightly quicker method, which may at first seem counter-intuitive, is that if you select the file on the Desktop & copy it, the Finder quite cleverly copies all aspects of it & then can paste different aspects of the file, depending on where you paste to.
There's an inherent difficulty in getting a screenshot to both file and clipboard.
