💡Fast way to copy and paste pictures! (for windows) #287

Open ong6 opened 3 years ago

  1. Use the win+shift+s shortcut (launches snip and sketch).

  2. Then just select the items you want to screenshot.

  3. The result is automatically copied to the clipboard and you can paste it into CATcher easily.

  4. To annotate the picture, clip the pop-up notification on the bottom right and draw, then a ctrl + c will copy the annotated version!

Note there are a few ways you can snip the image. (rectangle select, free select, windows select, fullscreen select)

Handy tool, have been using Snipping Tool for a long time now 👍🏻

Since we're on this topic, if you're willing to spend a small amount of time overriding the PrintScreen button, I highly recommend Greenshot for Windows users to replace the default screen capture tool.


  1. Gives you pixel-accurate screenshot abilities:

  1. You can pipe the screenshot to any combination of these preset consumers:

  1. And even customize the output filename - it's strongly integrated within my notetaking / documentation workflow (edit: swapped out the image for a more familiar use case):

Thanks for the sharing! For those using windows, I would like to recommend the ShareX https://getsharex.com/ for screen recording and screenshots also. You can choose a specific window to screenshot it and ctrl + v to paste it.

+1 for recommending Greenshot. Another great tool for screen recording (to MP4/GIF) with the ability to annotate on the recording frame by frame would be ScreenToGif (Windows only) which I have been personally using.

Another great tool that may be useful for the upcoming product demo recording would be AutoHotkey (Windows only) which allows you to "script" your keystrokes to produce a demo efficiently.

Personally, I use recordit for the ability to quickly record a short screencast. It will upload and give you a link to the video, which can be converted to gif as well.

+1 for ScreeToGif also, though it may be laggy at times, it's pretty fast and easy to use especially if you want to capture something quick.
