Suggestion: Automatically Copy Final Edited Screenshot to Clipboard on Capture

Description
The app currently supports copying screenshots to the clipboard, but it only copies the raw screenshot and does not include the edits applied by the user.
I would like the app to automatically copy the final rendered screenshot (including all edits) to the clipboard immediately after taking a screenshot—without requiring the user to press the Copy button.

Rationale
This allows users to quickly capture and paste the fully edited screenshot in one step.
Users who want to adjust settings to produce a more polished screenshot can still do so and then manually use Copy or Save as needed.

Proposed Behavior

  • When the user takes a screenshot, the app should automatically generate the final edited image (with all applied current settings and modifications) and copy that version to the clipboard.
  • Existing Copy and Save buttons should remain available for users who want to customize the output further before copying or saving manually.

Benefits

  • Faster workflow when pasting edited screenshots
  • Fewer steps for users who want the final output immediately
  • Does not interfere with users who prefer to tweak settings before copying or saving
