dsh-screenshot

Getting an image into DeepSeek Harness's composer used to mean opening the snipping tool, dragging a selection, switching back to the window, and hitting Ctrl+V — a chain that breaks your flow. dsh-screenshot collapses that into a single gesture: click the camera button beside the input box, or press a global hotkey (default Alt+A), and the system Snipping Tool appears; the moment you finish selecting, the image is pasted straight into the composer.

The listener is bound to the DSH Desktop lifecycle — it starts when the app launches and exits when the app closes, so there is no OS autostart entry and no extra tray process to manage. The settings page lets you swap the hotkey, toggle auto-paste (leaving the image in the clipboard instead), or force a foreground switch when DSH is in the background, all applied instantly. Reliability is handled with single-flight debouncing, non-blocking clipboard waits, stale SnippingTool cleanup, and an 8-second watchdog that kills a hung listener.

The plugin is Windows 10 (1809+) / Windows 11 only, relying on the built-in ms-screenclip: URI and Win32 APIs; macOS, Linux, and Windows 7/8 are not supported. It is aimed at DSH Desktop users who frequently feed screenshots to vision models, and pairs naturally with the dsh-vision-router plugin to complete a full capture → question → image-understanding pipeline.
