When taking a screenshot with a command via BTT that is configured to save to a location and automatically copy the screenshot to the clipboard, the screenshot is being properly saved in the correct location, but the image is not being copied to the keyboard.

External keyboards and MBP keyboard.

Ah, seems like a known, ignored bug for many years?

> I am setting up BTT as I am switching back to a Mac, and I’m looking to mirror the Windows screenshot keyboard binding. I want this to both save a screenshot in a specific folder and copy the screenshot to the clipboard. Despite configuring this here, the screenshot is not copied to my clipboard automatically. Bug or configuration issue?
