PowerGrab

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Why do we screengrab? To save a photo for the most part. I don't mind that it's saved to my clipboard, but that's not what I usually want. I sometimes do, but most of the time, I save hundreds of screenshots a week that pertain to statistics, code, and notes.

Here is some fantastic code:

HOWEVER, these options should be available:

[ x ] CTRL + V to automatically save file (just as you would if you were CTRL + C and + V a file into a new location)
[ x ] automatically save into folder
[ x ] save as string // do not confirm // just save

Scenario when this would be used?

citations, graphics, blogging, coursework, educational needs, tutorial creation, evidence, etc.

It irks me that this VERY simple feature isn't added when you've been able to do this on MACs for years.

For screenshots, this would be feedback best for Windows Feedback hub as it would be a good additional feature for Win+Shift+S. I think there are great 3rd party tools like greenshot as well.

In some context, this is great, in others, it becomes a security issue. For strings, that becomes dangerous and could leak stuff far too easily. I have far too sensitive info at times in my clipboard that i would want constantly saved into a file arbitrarily. There is clipboard history you can turn on (Win+V) to handle some of this.

Paste to file is tracked in #3098
