New feature: image pasting in chat/forums

I don't know why I waited to do this for so long. Probably because I didn't feel LiChess Tools should meddle in stuff that is not chess analysis. But it was something everybody wanted, so:

I like!

I reckon the blue 3 = 3 friends playing?

*edit - just trying it out!
testing. how does it work? is there a context menu?

> This feature allows for pasting images directly in the chat or the forum. Here, by "directly", I mean that it uploads the image to Imgur, retrieves a URL for it and pastes the resulting link. From there, Lichess has support to display the image.

I currently use postimage with postimage server. but shareX (a bit huge, and old but still working greenshot can also do imgur and give me link to paste.

but how it LT doing this. I might be missing something in the face.. I think that is quite possible.
How do I capture. I see not lichess main menu bar item.. or text box context menu...

Edit: for the easily lost like me:
solved by LT creator. With satisfying insight into the method. It is local browser space behavior upon user paste event into feature target text boxes. as in quote. The screen capture is not LT jurisdiction. And it can be any picture being pasted.
