Comment on Microsoft might be trying to sneak Bing into one of Windows 11’s apps – and some users won’t be happy

  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

    Flame shit 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.

    I have been using Spectacle for a few years now, I quite prefer it over snip (though the last version of snip I used was win7)!

      On my phone ATM but I’m pretty sure that’s what I ended up using as well

      It’s 95% there but it’s incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I’m used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button

      Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to make it do that, so it’s just shy of snip

  The Mac version is such a joke too. It’s almost as good but just not quite there.

    What’s wrong with the Mac snipping tool? I can hit cmd-shift-5 to move a resizable window around and set the tools options, like whether to save to file or clipboard, etc. If I hit the shortcut again, the window stays in its previous position, which is handy for one of my particular use cases. You can also hit cmd-shift-4 to get the pointer to click and drag the snip region like in Windows, and the settings chosen with the other format persist

    I feel like I have more capability in the Mac snipping interface, but maybe I’m using the Windows one wrong?

      Didn’t know about the 4 option, only 5. That will help a lot. The only problem now is getting it on the clipboard. I press cmd c but sometimes the snip tool isn’t active for whatever weird reason so I have to click the bar first.

      • borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        If you do the 5 option then click the Options button in the toolbar, then check both the “Remember Last Selection” and “Save To… Clipboard” you’ll just have to hit cmd-v to paste the snipped image. I’ve never had to hit cmd-c for anything when snipping on Mac myself, so I might be misunderstanding idk.

      I mean you can send your Mac snip to preview and mark it up that way

      • borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah. I don’t really mark up my screenshots with my main screenshot use case right now though. I was just trying to figure out what the difference was.
