We explain how to capture Mac screenshots directly to the clipboard by adding Ctrl to standard shortcuts, how to copy and save simultaneously, and how to paste into Slack, Discord, GitHub, Notion, Linear, and AI assistants. We include `screencapture -c` commands, a `.zshrc` alias, and a comparison table. LazyScreenshots adds cropping, annotation, built-in clipboard handling, and optional Claude/Cursor auto-paste for $29 one-time.
