The snipping tool.
Guess I’ll need to block that so users don’t accidentally send confidential information to Microsoft.

JFC Microsoft has no chill. Snip is practically the last thing in windows that works right.

The Mac version is such a joke too. It’s almost as good but just not quite there.

What’s wrong with the Mac snipping tool? I can hit cmd-shift-5 to move a resizable window around and set the tools options, like whether to save to file or clipboard, etc. If I hit the shortcut again, the window stays in its previous position, which is handy for one of my particular use cases.
You can also hit cmd-shift-4 to get the pointer to click and drag the snip region like in Windows, and the settings chosen with the other format persist
I feel like I have more capability in the Mac snipping interface, but maybe I’m using the Windows one wrong?
Edit - Oh, is it because you can just click on the banner notification thing then directly mark up the screenshot?”

I mean you can send your Mac snip to preview and mark it up that way

Yeah. I don’t really mark up my screenshots with my main screenshot use case right now though. I was just trying to figure out what the difference was.

Didn’t know about the 4 option, only 5. That will help a lot. The only problem now is getting it on the clipboard. I press cmd c but sometimes the snip tool isn’t active for whatever weird reason so I have to click the bar first.

If you do the 5 option then click the Options button in the toolbar, then check both the “Remember Last Selection” and “Save To… Clipboard” you’ll just have to hit cmd-v to paste the snipped image. I’ve never had to hit cmd-c for anything when snipping on Mac myself, so I might be misunderstanding idk.

Funny enough it’s also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux’s ass on a feature
Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip
I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it’s a different keybind with an enter keypress

I have been using Spectacle for a few years now, I quite prefer it over snip (though the last version of snip I used was win7)!

On my phone ATM but I’m pretty sure that’s what I ended up using as well
It’s 95% there but it’s incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I’m used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button
Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to make it do that, so it’s just shy of snip

Flameshot (my auto correction changed that to something bad) is golden if you are on Xorg, it’s a little more complicated on the Wayland side of things.

Gonna give it a go when I get home

Holy shit. Just downloaded it and it’s got a lot of great features. I can’t find the shortcut to actually take a screenshot though. Do you have to click the icon in the panel?

Yeah you do. But you can set a hotkey in your DE for that, just execute flameshot when you press print, that’s what I do.
Sadly, I’m on Wayland and it doesn’t really work well yet there, last time I checked at least. Flameshot is amazing.

It was standard for professional correspondence where I work, but then they took out the ruler function. Why they think mouse-drawn highlighting of text looks good, I’ll never know.
