Save a print with 'PrtScr' or 'SHIFT + PrtScr' and automatically copies the saved image to the clipboard
Problem
When a print is taken using the 'PrtScr' or 'SHIFT + PrtScr' keyboard shortcut, the image is saved, but it is not copied automatically. So, if I want to use the image immediately (for example, by pasting it into an application), I need to navigate to the files and find the file of the recently taken screenshot and only after that then I can use it (by dropping it on WhatsApp let's say).
That takes time, especially when you are a Dev and you are having a conversation with another dev trying to show print of a specific part of code or specific part of a documentation for example.
Proposal
When the keyboard shortcut 'SHIFT + PrtScr' or 'PrtScr' is pressed, it saves the image (as the software already does well) but automatically copies the saved image to the clipboard so someone could paste it into a application easily.
A save and automatically copies the image to the clipboard feature would be amazing; Would that be possible?

@stsdc Oh, no I did not, to be honest, I wasn't even aware until now of the standard shortcuts for holding down the CTRL key to copy. And while this helps a lot with the problem, I don't think it's exactly the solution. Because now I have a way to save or copy. But not to save and copy. I took a look and couldn't find a way to combine both.
Is there a way to achieve that or does it need to be done with a new feature?
