Do you take screenshots using Shift-command-4 on macOS? Do you love to then drag the screenshot thumbnail from the bottom right of your screen into Slack, Github, email, wherever? But it often disappears before you can grab it? Run this in your terminal (change “20” to however many seconds you want it to stay visible): `defaults write com.apple.screencaptureui thumbnailExpiration -float 20`

This is how I take screenshots, if anyone is interested:
