You can also set the window size, and it even supports multiple windows. The Snip & Sketch app will show up on the taskbar and in the task switcher (Alt+tab), which makes it much easier to multi-task. 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. Once you’re done, you can save or share your screenshot with others directly from the application. In addition to the old Snipping Tool’s features, Snip & Sketch adds many new annotation features to make this screenshot utility more useful – after you take a screenshot, you can immediately begin cropping, editing, and annotating. While the original tool simply took screenshots of either the full screen or an area you chose, it couldn’t do much else. 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.Snip & Sketch, available in Windows 10 is a program meant to replace the Snipping Tool that has been available in Windows 7, 8, and 10. 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. 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.


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. 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. I went from Windows 7 to 10 and it has been one thing after another. Thanks for the tutorial, but this is why Windows (ever since Windows 10) hasn’t appealed to me.
