Snipping Tool (legacy) nor Snip & Snetch behave the way you want it to. Launch the screen that you want to capture. The screenshot is automatically copied to your clipboard. Open the appropriate application and use the Ctrl-V key combination to paste the image into a new image document.įor more complex screen captures, see the Snipping Tool in Windows. Windows does not have a built-in tool to do what you describe. You can change the shape of your snip by choosing one of the following options in the toolbar: Rectangular mode, Window mode, Full-screen mode, and Free-form mode. Use Windows Key + Print Screen to screen clip the whole screen. If it says Alt + T then P that means press the Alt key and the T key at the same time and release, then press P. After you’ve opened the tool, you can paste the image (Ctrl + V) from your clipboard there. In the list of shortcuts below, Alt + N means to press the Alt key and the N key at the same time. Once you have captured the wanted screen or window using the Print Screen key, you must take additional steps. Paste the captured image into an image editor such as Microsoft Paint or Photoshop to edit or save it. We could make a keyboard shortcut to open Snipping Tools, though.
