For anyone interested, here’s how I achieve the same in i3wm: it works with the Print key and lets you select the area using only CLI tools.

bindsym --release Print exec "scrot -s '%Y:%m:%d:%H:%M:%S.png' -e 'xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i $f && mv $f ~/Pictures'"

Chrome has powerful screenshot options built in. Open the web inspector, choose “Run command”from the dot menu, and then type “screen” to find those commands. Full-height screenshot is particularly useful.

On Windows WinKey+Shift+S opens a snapshot tool that lets you click+drag over part of your screen and puts it into your clipboard

> Get a screenshot app.

You don't need a third-party screenshot app?? Most operating systems come with a screenshot tool by default??

Is this advice also for mac users? If so, whats the benefit to using this over the built-in screenshot tool?

Is it better than Cleanshot?

No idea. I got Shottr and it was just right. If Cleanshot doesn't have enough, then maybe give it a shot.
