Hello, quick tip (rather than a question) for those who need to take screenshots and paste directly clipboard - took me a while to figure this out (though is mentioned on Mac OS Support Site at bottom)

Simply click on your toolbar, select the snip, then copy the link and paste - without ever leaving the screen. To take a screenshot on Mac, press Shift + Command + 3. Can CloudApp copy and paste a snip on a Mac? Press Command-Control-Shift-3 to copy the whole screen. The screenshot will be automatically saved to the clipboard.
