TERRY ETXL (ID: 000000f6f391f0f7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/07/2023 截屏后不能第一时间进行编辑是硬伤,导致编辑效率降低. It is a serious problem not to be able to edit the screenshot immediately after taking a screenshot, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of editing image annotations. It is hoped that after the shortcut key is pressed, it can immediately enter the editing state; If you want to modify the screenshot upload function, you can upload the file to your own network disk or email;
