[FEATURE] Screenshot directed to clipboard instead of opening

[natasha-grimes]

What would you like to be added?

Add a feature as caelestia screenshot --copy to copy screenshot data directly into clipboard instead of opening it on the screen

How will it help?

I find myself having to press the copy button and closing the screenshot too often (100% times)

Well today I did a little bit of investigation on how I might implement this

I came across #71 which is not exactly what I wanted as it also opens the screenshot while auto copying it, it seems this cli's screenshot implementation is just a wrapper around the main shell and the main shell already support direct clipboard screenshots you just need to override the keybinds as below:

bind = Super+Shift, S, exec, qs -c caelestia ipc call picker openFreezeClip

This provides the exact behavior I initially wanted.

I'll let contributors decide if this should be added to this repo as well or not as a wrapper

I might also add that to match the same style that's currently in the hyprland config, you could also use:

bind=Super+Shift, S, global, caelestia:screenshotFreezeClip

If you think this should be the default behaviour, I'd recommend opening a pull request with this change in the caelestia-dots/caelestia repo and seeing if it gets approved!
