I am used to using it because of snipping tool, but I tried uninstalling snipping tool to use the hotkey on sharex and it didn't work. I tried disabling the S shortcut on regedit and it works but also disable "Win + S" which I always use. Couldn't find any other way to use it on sharex and disable it on windows/snipping tool.

UP! I have the default screenshot removed, however I can't set the hotkey for your app: win +shift + s.

I don't think this is an issue with ShareX, but more of an issue with Windows. I am also used to using the "Windows + Shift + S" keybind for doing a snapshot (works with one hand). After uninstalling both snipping tool and snip & sketch applications, I can still press the combo and the tool still shows up.

It seems that Windows does not allow the user to remove the keybind for the "Windows + Shift + S" command.

While it's true that windows doesn't really allow you to disable that, ShareX should be able to catch the keybind before windows. Utilities such as Autohotkey do just that, which allows you to remap win+shift+s to whatever you want. It would be pretty nice to have that built into ShareX.
