The snipping tool.
Guess I'll need to block that so users don't accidentally send confidential information to Microsoft.
JFC Microsoft has no chill. Snip is practically the last thing in windows that works right.
Funny enough it's also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux's ass on a feature
Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip
I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it's a different keybind with an enter keypress
I have been using Spectacle for a few years now, I quite prefer it over snip (though the last version of snip I used was win7)!
On my phone ATM but I'm pretty sure that's what I ended up using as well
It's 95% there but it's incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I'm used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button
Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn't seem there's a way to make it do that, so it's just shy of snip
