How can I save screenshots to Clipboard on my Mac?

I am using MacBook Air M1 2020. It has been updated the lastest version (Sequoia 15.5).

Before, I use taking screen by Shift + Command + 4, then the screen picture will save on the Desktop. If I want to save on the Clipboard, I will use Shift + Command + 5, and chose Option -> Save to Clipboard. However, now I didn'd use option "Save to Clipboard". The function "Save to Clipboard" be hide. So my question is how to get function "Save to Clipboard".

Currently, when I want to take screen and save to clipboard I must use Control + Shift + Comand+4. That is very uncomfortably.

Two things: First Command+Shift+4 allows you to select an area of the screen. Command+Shift+3 selects the entire screen. Second, you have "Record Selected Portion" not one of the "Capture" settings in the Command+Shift+5 options. Which is why you can't select the Clipboard.
