Does this package work on Mac OS?

I tried it on Mac OS, but it doesn't prompt for a screenshot. Did I miss something?

You'll need to configure your screenshot method:

https://github.com/jethrokuan/mathpix.el/blob/master/mathpix.el#L20

(setq mathpix-screenshot-method "screencapture -i %s")

should work for OSX

[fountainer]

(setq mathpix-screenshot-method "screencapture -i %s")

It works very well when I take a screenshot of non-emacs windows. However, it's very hard to use it to capture formulas in Emacs windows, such as pdf-tools window.

[jethrokuan]

why is that? the screenshot tool is agnostic of the currently open software.

I'm not sure why is that. It usually cannot select an area in Emacs windows when I drag the cursor.
