Situationally better. Neither work very well. Print screen sucks because it captures all 3 monitors of mine. Snipping tool sucks because I can't capture full screen games very well.

Still run into the problem of having to crop out the other 2 monitors

the thing with that is you have to send them a link instead of being able to embed it tho

Control + P (Ctrl and F2: Select Print Preview command) or create your own shortcut key sequence like Control + Alt + P?

 

Microsoft is actually working on a Windows store app called Screen Sketch but you need to join the Windows Insider program

These are quite old articles and they both say tested on Win7? Also, there is no download for your first "this"...  at 

https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/free-clipboard-manager-automatically-save-clipboard-items-screenshots/

I came across the Screen Sketch app as I wanted to grab a larger image file than the one from either right-clicking on the image and pasting into Paint or the Windows Snippy tool. In the end, I downloaded ShareX from the Microsoft store. But am about to try Save.me which I found on maketecheasier.

ShareX 12.2 Microsoft Store build

Save.me

maketecheasier.com

 

Update:

The Save.me program is nothing like a Print Screen button, however, it does grab a very good *.HTML complete and save it in a kind of archive. Nothing you could not do for yourself or with an online service like Evernote web clipper but it adds a local machine UI to the process. It is not always running so you need to instigate the program before the clipboard becomes available.

For what I wanted to do which is to grab a screenshot the ShareX is better although it lacks the larger file saving function and sometimes its operational function box is captured.

 

ShareX comparison 103KB *.PNG

 

Snipping tool 99KB *.PNG
