Does this package work on Mac OS?

I tried it on Mac OS, but it doesn't prompt for a screenshot. Did I miss something?

You'll need to configure your screenshot method:

https://github.com/jethrokuan/mathpix.el/blob/master/mathpix.el#L20

(setq mathpix-screenshot-method "screencapture -i %s")

should work for OSX

(setq mathpix-screenshot-method "screencapture -i %s")

It works very well when I take a screenshot of non-emacs windows. However, it's very hard to use it to capture formulas in Emacs windows, such as pdf-tools window.

why is that? the screenshot tool is agnostic of the currently open software.

I'm not sure why is that. It usually cannot select an area in Emacs windows when I drag the cursor.
