Oh, by the way, people were asking on Twitter, so we just enabled support for the HTML5 clipboard API. If you're using Chrome, you can now just paste an image into the comment box to upload it!

Very handy with Mac OS X screenshot shortcuts that copy straight to the clipboard.

Neat!

(Windows has built-in shortcuts to screenshot to clipboard too: PrtScr grabs the whole screen, Alt+PrtScr grabs just the active window)

Much easier than:

    Command + Control + Shift + 3

and

    Command + Control + Shift + 4 + Spacebar + Mouse Click

in my opinion.

Yeah but being able to drag a selection beats out Windows by a lot.

Windows has "snipping" tool that does that.

I always reverse the shortcuts to that copy is: command + shift + (3/4) and save file is command + shift + control + (3/4)

Some other os x screenshot tips:

- hold space while dragging a selection and you can reposition the selection's origin

- press space to switch to window capture mode. This captures the whole window even if it is obscured.

Fun fact up until recently (mountain lion I believe) the capture window icon was a holdover from NeXT. I wish they'd left it alone, the new one isn't nearly as cool :)

Feel free to change them in System Preferences to your own liking.

I don't think that you need `Control`.

[RKearney]

To save it to your clipboard, yes.

SnippingTool is great too (Windows Vista+)
