Description

When we start flameshot from a terminal flameshot launcher

we get this 2021-10-27-184834_1920x1080_scrot

It would be perfect if we could immediately save the image to harddisk or save it to clipboard.

What I see is great, I just can not save it or use it. I have to take another image to be able to.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requests adding two buttons to the Flameshot launcher: one to save the screenshot to disk and one to save to clipboard. To implement, explore the launcher component in the codebase, likely in the src/ directory. Check the existing launcher UI code (e.g., in src/launcher/) to understand how buttons are created and handled. Add two new buttons with appropriate signals and slots for saving to disk and clipboard. Look at how other similar actions are implemented for reference. No linked PRs or maintainer comments yet; consider proposing a design in the issue first.
