Screenshots app doesn’t work

nn

I ruled down the screenshot issue is due to new permission scheme. But I couldn’t find a fix. But I found a workaround. I use screenshots to share with Slack usually, but it might not work for you.

nn

Press CMD+Space.

Click on “Option” and select Clipboard. Next time when you want a screenshot use usual shortcuts CMD+Shift+3 or CMD+Shift+4 and paste on Slack chatbox or Word document.
