Try Win+Shift+S for instant click/drag screenshot to clipboard. I haven't opened the snip tool GUI since I found out. It also has GUI buttons for window/freeform/fullscreen if you ever need that.
In Windows 11 there's also a setting to make the "Print Screen"-key work in the same way as Win + Shift + S. The setting is called "Use the Print screen button to open screen snipping".
