I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁
The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.
Ill end this post with a question for you all:
-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?
Win key+shift+s brings up a more advanced screenshot menu. It defaults to cropped screenshot, where you can select which part of the screen to save.
In an upcoming Windows build the printscreen key will also invoke the screenshot tool by default, though you can revert it back to the old function if you prefer. Handy!
Yes, I’ve been using this for a while on my work computer with win11, neat little feature.
Awesome thank you for this tip, I love that new little screenshot widget but the shortcut is so clunky. Moving it to print screen would be a big upgrade for me.
I use this so much for work and it makes it so much simpler to share anything from pictures to parts of a OneNote notebook!
You can change the default behavior of the Print Screen key to open the Snipping Tool (what you’re talking about). It’s in Windows settings.
