Copy Main Window Image [Feature Request]

Currently, we have the option to save screenshots of the chart window and main window to a file.

We can also save a screenshot of the chart window to the clipboard using the Copy Chart Image function.

However, we cannot save a screenshot of the main window to the clipboard. The Copy Main Window Image function is missing.

I often take screenshots of the entire platform (using external software) and post them to my Discord. However, this requires an extra step, which I find annoying.

Could we therefore add a function to copy a screenshot of the main window to the clipboard? Thank you.

Is that really necessary?

Win+Shift+S brings up the Snipping Tool. You can set it to always copy a window. Assuming SC is already in focus, a final click copies the entire Main window to the clipboard.

PS: You can also hit the PrtSc (Print Screen) button to bring up the Snipping Tool.

In my opinion, it is necessary.

Currently, I can take a screenshot of the chart window by simply clicking a button in the control bar or pressing a keyboard shortcut. It is very quick and convenient.

Your suggestion is no different from what I'm doing now. It requires extra steps. However, thank you for the tip 😉

We have noted this as a Feature Request.

We can not say when we would be able to get to any particular request.
