Capture bar

The Capture Bar is a vertical strip of capture buttons on the right edge of the editor. It lets you start your next capture without leaving the editor — no trip to the menu bar or a global hotkey.

ButtonWhat it starts
RegionA region capture — see Area Capture
WindowA window capture — see Window Capture
ScreenA full-screen capture — see Screen Capture
ScrollingA scrolling capture — see Scrolling Capture
Scan CodesFreeze every screen and find QR codes / barcodes — see QR Scanning
DelayedA delayed capture — pop out the button to choose Region, Screen, or Window

Delayed is a split button: click it to start the default delayed region capture, or pop it out to pick the delayed mode first.

If the editor has unsaved changes when you start a capture, hypershot asks you to save or discard, then continues into the capture.
