The Mac screenshot tool for builders

> Screenshot -> Find the file -> Drag into chat -> Switch back

You can save files to the clipboard when taking a screenshot. The you can just paste it in while you’re already typing what you want Claude to do with it. It’s the same amount of context switching, as far as I can tell.

All you need to remember is cmd-ctrl-shift-4. Apple chose some terrible defaults here but as you use this your fingers will remember without your brain getting involved. The app fails to mention this obvious built in option.
