Hello, quick tip (rather than a question) for those who need to take screenshots and paste directly clipboard - took me a while to figure this out (though is mentioned on Mac OS Support Site at bottom)
Q: How to take a Mac screenshot and paste directly to word from clipboard without savings as a PNG file on the desktop?
Click on your window or select your screen portion if you chose to capture something other than your whole screen. Your screenshot will be taken as soon as the selection is made. Control-click, right-click, or two-finger-click on the screenshot appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. Use your mouse to draw a rectangle in order to specify what to capture – or press the spacebar and then click on something (e.g. A window) to capture it. Your Mac then saves it as a file on the desktop. The file name will look like “Screen shot 2020-10-25 at 08.45.00 AM.png”. How do I take a screenshot of the Touch Bar (MacBook Pro)?
A: you need to use CONTROL button as well as other buttons to save straight to clipboard
