Good, but usability lacking

Good app, for sure. Does what it promises to do. However, it could be much more intuitive.

a. For starters, instead of darkening the screen to make a screenshot, you could just activate the area selector right away as soon as the shortcut has been pressed. I understand that many need to annotate, but it would be great have a quick and easy ‘screenshot, automatically upload, automatically copy to clipboard’ feature, such as the one in Droplr (when it was still free!).
b. I hate that I have to actually click ‘Copy’ to copy the link to the clipboard. Please make it automatic. Otherwise, aside from link length, Dropbox becomes the easier solution.
