A brief search found many but I'd much appreciate recommendations from existing users please. I use Snipping Tool. It's free, built into Windows since at least Win 7, and very easy to use. Not sure about the hotkey support since I don't use it that way. Checking its menus just now, I see that some of the most used stuff does indeed have hotkey support. Thanks. I did try that and agree it's sweet to use. But where are the hotkey settings you mention please? In the menus. Take a dummy snapshot so that the full window appears, complete with menus, File, Edit, Tools, and Help. Just poking through there, I see hotkeys for New Snip and Save As. There's one for Copy to Clipboard, but that option is enabled by default so you don't need the hotkey. "...and allow a wide range of hotkeys," That is not possible with Snipping Tool. Could you bind a hot key to a command line invocation ? For example "nircmd" mentioned on this page, does screen snapshots. https://superuser.com/questions/7561...ine-in-windows And if you're actually working on a tutorial, I've used a Windows build of ffmpeg and the GDIgrab to collect a movie at 1FPS. I can work then, click a button, wait a second or two (to ensure there's at least one frame in my movie with a clear snapshot), then do my next step. Later, in AVIdemux 2.5, I can scroll along and pick out the shots I like from there. I can save a single frame as a BMP ot JPG. AVIDemux will work with a folder of JPGs (considered to be a "movie"), or it will work with a real movie (.avi). Thanks Paul, interesting suggestions. For now I'm trying FastStone capture (trial) and Greenshot (freeware), and also hoping Techsmith fix familiar Snagit. Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

When I want video (which I seldom do) I use CamStudio 2.7.2. Both used on Windows 10 Pro. -- Bill Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska |
