![]() ![]() Is that too much to ask from a big company like Microsoft?Īgain, a nice well written tutorial, I assume you don’t work for Microsoft as it was explained so clearly. Check it out in action: But you may want more. If that’s all you need, you can take it from there. This old lady don’t need to play video games, all I need is an OS that can function well on the internet and cut, copy, and paste photos. To quickly snip and share a screenshot, press the Windows key + Shift + S to bring up a snipping toolbar use it to snip a rectangle, something a bit more freeform, or full screen and it will go straight to your clipboard. I visited my nephew last month and found that not only does Ubuntu do this without question anyone (even someone as slow as me) can set up keyboard shortcuts. This old dog grows tired of learning new tricks. I have spoken to my nephew about setting me up with his OS. If so, then enable the disabled services/applications (during the clean booting process) one by one and check which one was creating the issue. ![]() You and about a half dozen other tutorials in the last 30 minutes, have proven to me, that one needs to download an external 3rd party program just to replace the Windows apps… making Windows all that much bigger than needed. Clean boot your system and check if the snipping tool shortcut is working as intended. Their default applications just suck so badly that some smart computer scientist (such as yourself) needs to tell grandma here how to do a simple PRNT SCRN she has done 1,000 times in the past. This will open up the Snipping tool, tap on Try Snip & Sketch toggle to launch it fully. ![]() Now type snippingTool.exe in the popped up Run new task box, then press enter key. I went from Windows 7 to 10 and it has been one thing after another. Tap on the Windows logo key with alphabet R to launch the RUN box. Write it 50 times and you'll never forget it.Thanks for the tutorial, but this is why Windows (ever since Windows 10) hasn’t appealed to me. How hard is it to remember Shift Command 4. But you can't get any simpler than that key combo to do exactly the same thing as the Snipping tool in Windows and without ever having to open any App/Program. What was inside that box you drew will be made into a. Place that changed cursor at the start point of the windows you want to draw and Click and hold the trackpad and Drag to the other side of the window you want to draw. Press the Shift key and the Command key and the # 4 key at the same time and the cursor will change to a Cross hairs with circle. So yes, there is an app for that, actually, several apps. Take a screenshot of selected area (works without starting Snip & Sketch too) Screenshots taken by this shortcut arent automatically saved, theyre only copied to clipboard. After starting up Preview, just choose File/Take Screen Shot and you have three commands: From Selection, From Windows, or From Entire Screen.įurthermore, if you are enough of a geek to prefer typing in Unix commands, those screen shot choices can also be executed from the Terminal program by typing in the proper commands.Īnd if you ever wanted to record a video of your screen or audio from your microphone, you can do it with the QuickTime Player on your Mac. In addition to Grab, Apple added similar commands to the Preview app which is in your Dock or Applications folder. ![]() With the Window option, you just click that window and it's the only thing that will be captured, you'll get a nice clean grab of just that. The Grab screen shot app has been around for many years (maybe 10 or more) while I believe the Windows Snipping Tool was not built into Windows until Windows Vista.Īlso, note that the Window option means if you want to take a picture of just a single window or palette, you do not have to laboriously draw a selection around it. Just click the Capture menu and you will have the commands Selection, Window, Screen, and Timed Screen. It will let you do screen shots with your mouse instead of having to memorize the shortcuts. OS X comes with an app called Grab (as in "screen grab"), in your Utilities folder. The fact is that the Mac came out with a "snipping tool" app way, way before Windows ever did. When people tell you the Mac keyboard shortcuts for screen shots, those are actually only the shortcuts to a much deeper set of screen shot capabilities. So, There is no ap for that! Too bad, trying to remember all those key board short cuts takes some of the glamor out of Apple. ![]()
