Screencopy
by imurx
Screencopy lets a player copy a screenshot straight to the clipboard as it is taken, without opening the screenshots folder.
What it does
Once a screenshot is taken, the image is placed on the system clipboard so it can be pasted into another program right away. A config option turns off saving the file to the screenshots folder, for players who only want the clipboard copy. The mod runs on macOS, Linux under X11 or Wayland, and Windows on x64 or arm64.
Screencopy is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Fabrishot is an optional companion. The code is under the MIT License and is open source. Files cover 1.17 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
Key features
Clipboard copy
Each screenshot taken in game is copied to the clipboard and can be pasted into an image editor or chat.
Screenshot file control
A config setting can stop the mod from writing the screenshot to the screenshots folder, leaving only the clipboard copy.
Pasting into other programs
The copied image can be pasted into image editors, documents or chat windows without first locating a file on disk.

What the author says
It works in macOS, Linux (X11 or Wayland) and Windows that uses x64 or arm64. Also there is a config file for not saving the file to the screenshots folder if that's your preference! This mod shouldn't be incompatible with any mod (including optifine) but do report it in the issues section;)
