>>60755320
Not an answer.
There is not a single way to directly, silently and instantly get a screenshot to the clipboard like in Windows.

There are several ways to get one to file or have something like Spectacle with an GUI where you can choose to get the captured screenshot to clipboard but Spectacle lacks the command line option to directly get that shit to clipboard instead of file.
The whole thing also has like a 5s delay while it is in near realtime in Windows.

>>60755364
Why the fuck would you need it on the clipboard?
There are hardly any programs which would support pasting that, even on Windows, and of the programs that do (basically just image editors), you could just open a fucking file.

pipe scrot to xclip or some shit if you want

whats the purpose of having it in clip, the only thing you paste the image in is mspaint or photoshop

>>60755292
Yup, that's one of features I love about Linux. But if you enjoy having to open Paint and paste your screencap just to save it then more power to you I guess.

Give a keybinding for "xfce4-screenshooter -c --fullscreen".
I don't know if scrot can do this or not. Next time ask fglt for loonix questions or it will generate shitposts and ad hominem.

>>60755400
data in clip i understand, i have scripts that format data in clip for pasting in matrices in latex for example but images? no reason to, save it to a file directly and open it in krita/pinta/gimp or whatever fucking shit image editor you use

Shutter would even allow cropping inside itself without any other program needed but it loves to crash a lot

Does X even have a concept of an image in the clipboard?
I wouldn't be surprised if not, clipboard on X is totally fucked up.

>what is snippingtool.exe

>>60755414
You'd either overwrite the screenshot file or have to delete it afterwards if you don't need it anymore. It just fucking unnecessarily clutters up folders with screenshot files when all you want is just getting a part of a screenshot into a document quickly.

>>60755292
It is just a key on your keyboard.
Hotkey applications allow you to run applications by pressing a single key or a combination of keys.

Some people press the printscreen because they want to store the displayed image to a file, for those, the large "where do you want to store it" applications, works really well.
Others will immediately crop the image so they only capture a part screen, for those, the graphical tools works well too.
Others take a lot of screenshots and just want to store them all, for those people, copying it to the clipboard doesn't make sense either.
For those people, it might make sense to silently store the images and the default tool may be in the way of this (even though you only deal with it for the first image you take in a series). Scrot is a good replacement for those people

snippingtool allows you to create a screenshot without having to paste anything.

you can always exit the program after each screenshot and don't create session if preferred , so no crash.

Ok, fair enough. I see OP gave no details, so the "correct" answer would be the one that has the lowest number of dependencies/assumptions about his machine, and not just "my DE doesn't have this problem".

>Get used to the bare minimum and then expect disappointment
Sadly that's Windows. This why i deleted it and bought a MBP.

>>60755292
I use Unity™ and I literally don't have this problem.
Printscreen = screenshots the whole screen and asks where to save the image
Shift + printscreen = select a rectangular area to screenshot.

Because Linux is a huge waste of time if you try to use it as a desktop OS.

OPTIONS
       -c, --clipboard
              Send the grab directly to the clipboard.

i'm not telling you the name of the program because of your gay attempt to have /g/ to tech support for you because you can't figure it out yourself.

>tfw you fell for the KDE meme

But it has everything I need and I like the looks.
All solutions mentioned before either create a temp file which gets fed into the clipboard (slow in case you want to screencap something quick that is live) or it simply doesn't arrive in the clipboard at all (clipboard stays empty).

The only solution that is working right in KDE is either use the original screenshot solution that came with it ("Spectacle") which will open a window on which you can click "copy to clipboard" and overall it's also fucking slow or you bite the pillow and use Scrot and configure it to save a PNG on shortcut. Scrot is quite fast.

This is pretty much the only thing I hate about KDE. Been a pleasant ride despite this though so far (6 months usage).

Your webm shows how you do it in Mint using the Cinnamon DE. Do you expect it to work the same exact way on a KDE machine? In that case the webm shows nothing helpful.
