looking for a screen shot app like clips for windows.

[mrgreeneyes]

I am currently using Lightshot but I am looking for something that I can take a quick screen shot or select a portion of the screen and copy and paste it directly in a message or email, and not have to attach a photo or open a photo and crop it.

the only issue I have with Lightshot is it doesn't load automatically when I boot up my MacBook.
I am looking for something that can stay in the menubar and I can click and choose how I want to make a screenshot.

Can you confirm that you've reviewed the default mac shortcuts for screenshots and they are not adequate?

From my understanding of your use case, I would use control-shift-command 4, which is the default keyboard assignment for copying a picture of the selected area to the clipboard.

Control Shift 5 gives you pretty granular control over screeenshotting & sharing pictures
