@jonhicks@mastodon.social And if you hold down `control` while clicking with the mouse or pressing Enter, the screenshot goes straight to the clipboard. 🙂

@jonhicks@mastodon.social not sure if you use Acorn on Mac, but I learned a couple months back that you can also take layered screenshots with it: https://stegrainer.com/journal/2026/how-to-capture-layered-screenshots

@jonhicks@mastodon.social You can also make this permanent, by the way. I have it turned off by default.

@jonhicks@mastodon.social if you're looking for fun macOS screenshot tricks, check out Flying Meat's "Acorn" image editor. With Acorn running, command-shift-7 and it will take a screenshot of all attached displays into separate images, with every app in a separate layer group, with every window in a separate layer. You can take a screenshot and then reposition or even reorder apps after the fact.
