Attached is a very first try at making org-screenshot run on OS X. Many
open issues remain:
- Clicking in a window will not take a screenshot using `screencapture
-s' but aborts the process altogether and does not create a file. To
capture a window one has to use `screencapture -w'. Another option is
to use `screencapture -i' and toggle between window and selection mode
using the space bar. The problem with this approach is that hitting
the control key will place the screenshot into the clipboard and not
create a file either.
- Delay does not work because `screencapture -d' has a different
meaning. To delay a screenshot, one has to use `screencapture -T'.
Cheers,
Viktor
