macOS is the best OS for screenshots. I just right click the preview and save to clipboard, then paste wherever.

There’s a bunch of hidden screenshot options too.

The frickin Print key does that on Windows now

Just one screenshot key?

Tap volume down and power button at the same for screenshot. You can just end it there, or use one of the options at the bottom. The options include preview, scrolling screenshot, edit, share, highlight and copy text (computer vision stuff). And you can press the volume and power again to take a screenshot of the screenshot screen as I did above.

Forgot to mention: android.

Ha, you fool, now I know what time zone you live in, mountain. The android OCR without screenshotting is a clutch feature. I keep coming across blogs that disable right click assuming that makes it so AI can’t read it, but really they just make it impossible to quote the author. That feature is super handy for that, or copying text from a video.
