Take screenshot, save in tmp and open in preview

I use the macro below a lot to screenshot some information I need visible for other programs.
Mostly as a graphic designer it is color values from palettes, which disappear when the program does not have focus.
The screenshot is saved in the tmp folder, so no cleanup is necessary.
