Much easier than: Command + Control + Shift + 3 and Command + Control + Shift + 4 + Spacebar + Mouse Click in my opinion.
I don't think that you need `Control`.
To save it to your clipboard, yes.

#62What was wrong with ? Seemed like the perfect balance between, hard enough that you don't throw everything on there and eat up space, but useable enough that it works fine when you need it.
1) Hard to use for mere mortal users (QA, testers, normal users posting issue for an App, etc. 2) If uploaded to another site, the images are under a different protection domain (for protected repositories.)

#63I would love to hear why the github team waited so long to bring this feature into existence? I am sure there is a good reason (or maybe not) but it would be awesome if a member of the team would stop by and post the details.
We don't have roadmaps or a prioritized backlog, so we weren't exactly "waiting" to implement this. Someone got fed up with the image workflow, figured out a solution, grabbed some other people to help, and shipped it.
I was working on a project where, when viewing an issue, you could use the file picker to choose a file that was then committed on the project's 'gh-attachments' branch, and then linked via markdown to the raw URL.
This is good enough for me :)

Neat! (Windows has built-in shortcuts to screenshot to clipboard too: PrtScr grabs the whole screen, Alt+PrtScr grabs just the active window)

Yeah but being able to drag a selection beats out Windows by a lot.

#65Cool. I'd also love labels for PR-generated issues.

I always reverse the shortcuts to that copy is:
command + shift + (3/4) and save file is command + shift + control + (3/4)
Some other os x screenshot tips:
- hold space while dragging a selection and you can reposition the selection's origin
- press space to switch to window capture mode. This captures the whole window even if it is obscured.
Fun fact up until recently (mountain lion I believe) the capture window icon was a holdover from NeXT. I wish they'd left it alone, the new one isn't nearly as cool :)

#67Oh, by the way, people were asking on Twitter, so we just enabled support for the HTML5 clipboard API. If you're using Chrome, you can now just paste an image into the comment box to upload it! Very handy with Mac OS X screenshot shortcuts that copy straight to the clipboard.
SnippingTool is great too

Core dumps and lengthy stacktraces spring to my mind.
Can use Gist for these.
Since there are no organization private gists [1] you can't use that method for private repositories.
[1] A gist can only be "private" in the sense that it's not listed on the public gist page. No access control takes place once someone guesses the url. That's probably good enough for most uses, but not for all.

#69Glad to see they're working on parts of the product that affect developers again. Now, if they'd add sortable ticket priorities, fix the janky UI problems (like the thing where you can get stuck in the useless view where tags aren't selectable), and add other basic features like ticket up-voting and support for teams, it might become a genuinely useful tool for non-toy projects.
As a source repository its more than useful for non-toy projects from my experience. While the issue features a bit lacking when compared to full blown ticket trackers, the pull request feature is brilliant. I've yet to see another tool that makes code review and collaboration as simple and flexible as github's pull requests.

#70I've been trying to get our QA team to switch over from Bugzilla to GitHub for months and their only hold-out was that you couldn't add images. FINALLY! This is awesome!
I find the lack of ticket features in github has been the biggest blocker. Doing any reporting, or saved searches on github issues requires custom tooling.
