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"

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.
