      WIN+SHIFT+T gives you a crosshair cursor, outline what you want, then you can doodle on it, highlight stuff, etc.

      The Snipping tool is so useful when I’m trying to explain to someone what’s going on, on one of my screens without taking a large 3 monitor screenshot.

      Windows Shift S. Select an area of your screen which you can then paste. Also, Alt printscreen captures the current window.

      Even better, try Flameshot. Open source, cross platform, and lets you do very useful simple edits, like add arrows, shapes, text, and censoring.

        I’m a Greenshot user here. Similar ability to edit and customize default actions when hitting print screen. It’s the one thing I miss in Linux

          Why greenshot over flameshot? Flameshot works on Linux

            Wasn’t aware it was available for Linux. I’ll check it out

            I use a ball mouse and so I can’t adjust the width of the drawing tools easily. Greenshot is a little less slick much easier for me to use.

          Have you tried the built-in recorder from the game bar?
