Re: Wait until the last sentence

Print screen and Alt-Print screen do the full screen and current window snapping. Those with OneNote installed also had the Win+Shift+S to get a box to draw on the screen, there was also the the OS clipping tool, these have been around for as long as I can remember. A bit disparate but all there.

Now the OneNote clip tool has been replaced by a new Windows tool that is launched with the Win+Shift+S combo and offers both box, freeform (to draw around something on screen) and full screen clips, Alt+Print Screen is still there.

Unfortunately the default setting at first was free form and it wasn't obvious how to change it which was immensely annoying for someone who does a lot of screen clipping of both desktop and RDP sessions.

The clipboard now stores multiple clips as well rather than just the last thing.

Also OneNote also has built OCR which is handy....

Is the Collectables? Constipation? Cauliflowers? I give up.
