      Look into Greenshot and you will quickly forget about any built in screenshotting and snipping capabilities of windows.

        I literally only ever take a screenshot and maybe crop it. What functionality could it possibly provide that I care about?

          For one, it’s much more lightweight and responsive than the built in tools (old and new).

          Beyond that you can add Paint level graphics as objects to images, so you can highlight better in documentation.

          You can also use it to copy and paste between apps and websites that would otherwise not handle clipboard properly, like say copying between JIRA, Slack and some MS apps, by recovering images as clipboard data instead of copying the image file itself.

      Yeah I didn’t know this one either. Every time I see one of these cheatsheets, I learn something new
