Nope...
Print Screen used by itself CAN be used, if you set your default printer
to a null printer device. Opening a view of that printer queue will then
display the print job, which can be double-clicked to be viewed, at which
point you can copy it to clipboard...
But that's a lot of messing around, especially when there are so many more
powerful, flexible tools available for free.
Your friend and mine,

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business
on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment
he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual
becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
