> Hmm, if we did this, we'd have to do the same for recording

Is this necessarily the case though? Reason why I think they should be handled
differently is because screen recording is usually clicking record and then
spending 1 or 2 minutes before stopping, whereas screenshots frequently need to
be done in rapid succession. The rapid repetitiveness of taking screenshots
makes the hidden menu options significantly more cumbersome than the video
recording situation. However, I do understand the need for consistency.

What if we went with an icons only approach? We're already doing that for the
save and copy icons. It would be easy to represent "Select Window" and "Full
screen" as icons only, and then we have the dropdown for the other options. The
screen recording icons could just have a red recording dot next to them. We can
even have a text label in front of them marking the two sections. So for
example:

Screenshot: [Window Icon] [Monitor Icon] [Dropdown Arrow] | Recording: [Window
Icon with red dot] [Monitor Icon with red dot] [Dropdown Arrow]

That way its consistent with both capture types. They're clearly labeled
whether its screenshot or recording, and the two primary actions for each are
revealed at the top layer. All excess options will still be available via the
dropdowns.
