It’s mildly annoying to do, but my main worry is that it interrupts the flow of the post—it’s no longer optional. Having to use Snipping Tool has become second nature.
A highly recommended quality-of life improvement is to use ShareX, a program which will let you take a screenshot, immediately upload it to Imgur, then copies the URL link into your clipboard. Sharing, embedding, and backing up anything you see becomes habitual. For example, I hit “Ctrl + Shift + 4”, then “Ctrl + V” and get: https://i.imgur.com/LDclgnH.png
It not only saves me time, it cuts out a trivial inconvenience of showing my screen to others. URLs work universally, and I don’t have to figure out the image upload process of every website everywhere. It’s actually a qualitative change in the type of content I share to e.g. coworkers and friends, and, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
At least for the LW editor, I can do Option+Shift+4, select the area of the screen, and then just CTRL+V into the editor. My guess is the same is true for Wordpress? Basically as fast as copying a link.
If you get it into the clipboard it should work. But again, using Snipping Tool is fine, it’s purely about not cluttering the post slash giving people access to any links/threads/etc.
