    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

          Flameshot (my auto correction changed that to something bad) is golden if you are on Xorg, it’s a little more complicated on the Wayland side of things.

            Interesting, I tried like 5 tools and Flameshot (my fucking autocorrect also made it flame shit lol) never once came up

            Gonna give it a go when I get home

            I really do like being back on Linux but it’s this “someone only tells me about the exact software I need once I whine about it 3 weeks later on a different fucking Forum” that gets exhausting, lol

            Holy shit. Just downloaded it and it’s got a lot of great features. I can’t find the shortcut to actually take a screenshot though. Do you have to click the icon in the panel?

              Yeah you do. But you can set a hotkey in your DE for that, just execute flameshot when you press print, that’s what I do.

              Sadly, I’m on Wayland and it doesn’t really work well yet there, last time I checked at least. Flameshot is amazing.

    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.
