Feature Description

to close the pinned screenshot window in Mac, have to right click, and click close.

Add command + w for the short cut to close the pinned screenshot, and command + s to save the pinned screenshot, command + c to copy it.

Closing should be done by your own window manager. In Windows it is typically Alt+F4, i think in mac is Command+q.

Others are good suggestions. Thanks.

Closing in Mac is command + w, command + q is quit the application. And the default shortcut for Leave the capture screen is command + q, which conflicts with mac's own quit the application shortcut, and if you press command + q in hope to Leave the capture screen, it will just quit the Flameshot application.

The same applies to closing the pinned captured screen. If you press command + q, it will quit the whole Flameshot application. So it would be great if you could

  1. change default shortcut for Leave the capture screen to command + x
  2. addd a close the window shortcut to pinned screenshot with command + x

For leaving the capture screen, doesn't the Esc work?

yes, 'esc' work for existing capture screen, but in configuration, shortcut setting, the default shortcut for 'leaving capture screen ' in mac is set to 'command + q'

You can also double click the pin to close it. Since you would have to click the pin at least once so the right window had focus for the shortcut, I think double click to close is enough.

I'm personally against changing the defaults if there is no strong reason behind it. But I'm ok for adding an additional default.

@borgmanJeremy do you think this is a good idea to add alternative binding?
