    Do we really need to see your Google or whatever „news“feed here? Honestly, can you provide something more than a fucking clickbait title from a cancer „news“ site?

    The snipping tool.

    Guess I’ll need to block that so users don’t accidentally send confidential information to Microsoft.

      Damn… I wonder how my employer would feel about this. I am guessing this is for win11 peasant edition?

      JFC Microsoft has no chill. Snip is practically the last thing in windows that works right.

          What’s wrong with the Mac snipping tool? I can hit cmd-shift-5 to move a resizable window around and set the tools options, like whether to save to file or clipboard, etc. If I hit the shortcut again, the window stays in its previous position, which is handy for one of my particular use cases. You can also hit cmd-shift-4 to get the pointer to click and drag the snip region like in Windows, and the settings chosen with the other format persist

          I feel like I have more capability in the Mac snipping interface, but maybe I’m using the Windows one wrong?

          Edit - Oh, is it because you can just click on the banner notification thing then directly mark up the screenshot?”

            Didn’t know about the 4 option, only 5. That will help a lot. The only problem now is getting it on the clipboard. I press cmd c but sometimes the snip tool isn’t active for whatever weird reason so I have to click the bar first.

              If you do the 5 option then click the Options button in the toolbar, then check both the “Remember Last Selection” and “Save To… Clipboard” you’ll just have to hit cmd-v to paste the snipped image. I’ve never had to hit cmd-c for anything when snipping on Mac myself, so I might be misunderstanding idk.

    It was standard for professional correspondence where I work, but then they took out the ruler function. Why they think mouse-drawn highlighting of text looks good, I’ll never know. I asked for lightshot.
