f2-screenshot-clipboard
by yuanyouhui
F2 screenshot clipboard lets players paste a screenshot straight from the game after pressing F2, with no extra steps needed to copy it.
What it does
Pressing F2 takes a screenshot and copies the image to the clipboard in the same step, so it can be pasted into any application that accepts pictures. The copy runs on a background thread, so it does not hold up the frame being rendered. When the copy finishes, a click sound plays and a green Copied notice appears in the chat area along with the file name.
A settings menu opens with K and holds four options: the copy function itself, keeping the original file on disk, a feedback mode, and the copy hotkey, which defaults to F2 and can be changed under the Controls section of the options. Settings are saved when the menu is closed. Right-clicking the Screenshot Copier item copies the most recent screenshot again. The mod is client-side only, and it is built for Fabric on versions 1.21 – 26.2, with files for 16 release versions. The code is released under the MIT License but the project is not open source.

Settings menu
Opened with K, the menu toggles the copy function, keeping the original file, and feedback mode, and saves on close.
