1787658 - Add Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut to copy screenshot to clipboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1864038

(Firefox :: Screenshots, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Lucas Werkmeister]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Begin taking a screenshot (Right click > Take Screenshot; or press Ctrl+Shift+S)
2. Select a region (click on an element, or click and drag anywhere)
3. Press Ctrl+C (or the platform’s usual “copy” keyboard shortcut)

Actual results:

Nothing.

Expected results:

I think it would be useful to make this a keyboard shortcut for the existing “copy screenshot to clipboard” functionality (a button labeled “Copy”). GNOME Shell also supports this keyboard shortcut in its screenshot functionality.

If you agree that this would be nice to have, I think I’d like to try implementing it myself :) (unless you think it would be unusually difficult or for other reasons inadvisable)

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hm, actually, I think this is already supposed to work? At least there’s some relevant-looking code in browser/extensions/screenshots/selector/uicontrol.js (keydownHandler(), Ctrl+F KeyC) – but it doesn’t seem to be working properly, at least on my platform…

Confirmed on latest FF Beta 105.0b5 on Win10. Mark issue as New so that developers can have a look. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. Done right this might be really handy.
