Handy Windows 10 feature

[Old]

I updated Windows 10 today and discovered a feature new or at least new to me, something which will prove very handy. It is a cut and snip feature. One cut and snip any portion of a screen view which then goes to the clipboard. A simple Ctrl+V then pastes it to cursor location. Here is a sample from this oage. 

Use the Window+shift+S. Then I simple snipped out a portion of the page and Ctrl+V to insert it. It works between programs and in many cases removes the need to edit size.

If you hae questions Google snip feature Windows 10.   Here is a new snip from my recently posted Joke:

Win + Print Screen also saves an image of your whole screen in the Pictures folder.

Previously Windows had the "Snipping Tool"

Many people also swear by Greenshot https://ninite.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenshot or the screenshot tool within the Firefox browser. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots

Yes. I've been using that for ages! Well, for as long as I've had Windows 7 and up... It's been there, but I guess some just don't know about it.

 

On the other hand, you can use the "prt sc" key at the top-right of the keyboard. That takes a picture of the entire screen, which can be edited in Paint or Paint 3D.
