Ah, an opportunity to call upon Hacker News, tech support of last resort… Someone please tell me if there’s a trick to making the Windows snipping tool faster.

Ah, an opportunity to call upon Hacker News, tech support of last resort…
Someone please tell me if there’s a trick to making the Windows snipping tool faster. I press Win+Shift+S to activate the tool for capturing a region. It takes about 2 seconds to load. I draw the rectangle. Then it takes about 2 seconds to finish capturing.
That is 4 infuriating seconds for something that should be (and I’m sure used to be!) virtually instant.
Now that text is easily recognized in images, screenshots are an important interoperability tool for garbage apps like Teams.
- majkinetor 9mo agoTry flameshot
- MonkeyClub 9mo agoWin+PrtScr takes an instant screenshot. Win+Shift+PrtScr selects an area first.
- jl6 9mo agoAre you sure about that second one?
- UltraMagnus 9mo agoDitch the snipping tool, and try my favorite screen capture tool, FastStone Capture: https://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm https://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm I am not associated with this software, just a very happy user. You get a lifetime license for $20, it's constantly updated with new features, and is a joy to use.
