Yes I know, Windows bad. But I have to use Windows for work and the snipping tool is just so slow, clunky, and unintuitive and I’m sick of using it. Any recommendations for screenshot utils that can be bound to hotkeys and work much better than the snipping tool would be much welcomed. I’m used to Spectacle on my own PC (CachyOS/KDE) which works wonderfully.

Thanks!

      If you go into Windows settings, you can make the print screen button open it. That’s what I do on every computer I use regularly.

        on my work computer (Windows 11), I’m pretty sure this was the default and I didn’t have to configure it to do that? I use this all the time because part of my current job is to send screenshots to people in order to verify that software is working correctly. :D

          I think mine started as win10, I set it, and either that’s the default in win11, or my setting carried through the update. Im not sure which.

      genuinely just trying to clarify! Maybe you were using it for an application that I had not considered, in which it is clunkier. I only use it intermittently for screenshotting random things. At work we use Snagit so I don’t have to lean on the Windows snipping tool so much.
