Flameshot: Command line switch to automatically copy to clipboard after GUI selection

[arigit]

Please support the following syntax (or equivalent):

flameshot gui -c

This would launch flameshot in rectange selection mode and when the selection is done, instead of showing all the small buttons it would just copy the result to the clipboard and 'minimize itself to tray' as usual.

This would allow simple binding to a shortcut that allows quick area grabbing for later paste into GIMP, gmail and the like.

Same result as intended by:

gnome-screenshot --area --clipboard

...however gnome-screenshot does not work properly with the above options in wayland (the clipboard gets lost after gnome-screenshot automatically closes. flameshot resolves this wayland challenge by staying open in the tray

[mossaybo]

the shortcut you're looking for is simply Enter (Return) , I use this command to launch flameshot
flameshot gui -p ~/Pictures/flameshot
1- make selection
2- Enter/Return > copy to clipboard
Ctrl-S > save picture to ~/Pictures/flameshot

[mmahmoudian]

as @mossaybo correctly said, when you are in flameshot gui, either select the area and press Enter or even without selecting the area press Enter to capture the whole screen.

I close this issue now.
