Why launch the GUI? Why can't pressing the PrntScrn key keep it's old behaviour
and just take a screenshot in silent mode. I still don't understand why a task
that used to take only a single key press needs to be complicated with
additional mouse movements, buttons, and GUI selections. But that is just me.

Why not keep the old key combinations (I'm am assuming that it is still
possible with the new modifications) and just add the new copy to clipboard.
PrtScrn: takes a screencap.
Ctrl-PrtScrn: open the GUI.
Alt-PrtScrn: captures the active window.
And since it in now possible, add the new enhancement
Shift-PrtScrn: copy to clipboard.
Again, I'm sorry that I missed the original discussion and I really do think
the enhancements will be very useful to many. I just want to be able to take a
screen shot with only a single or double key press.
