  1. Change Win + Shift + S default Snip & Sketch key bind?


    I was wondering if it's possible to change this default keybind. I use it a lot but the Win key gets in the way of my gaming and I'm planning on disabling the key. I tried creating a shortcut for Snip & Sketch but it only works when not playing a game (on the desktop), and I use the Snip and Sketch keybind for all applications. Any help would be appreciated.

  2. Snip & Sketch - Windows key stays "hot"

    I am finding that when I use Snip & Sketch via Win-Shift-S, then after capturing my snip, it is as if I have continued to have my Windows key depressed.

    For example, Win-A brings up the notification screen. Here is what happens for me when I use Snip & Sketch:

    Win-Shift-S (screen goes dark)

    Draw box

    Get notification that snip has been taken.

    Press the "A" button

    Notifications screen opens.

    Any keyboard button I press from that point on brings up whatever Win+(that key) would do. The only way to get it to stop is to press the Win key twice.

    Is it just me?

    Snip and Sketch

    Snip and Sketch operation changed after recent update applied.

    (1) PrtScn, and WIN+shift+S will start the selection type process, allows me to select an area, then ends when I click on the area. It does not enter the sketch mode.

    (2) If I start the snip and sketch app, it goes to the sketch app, allows me to select NEW, which starts the above process (1), and returns the selection to sketch mode.

    Before the update, option 1 used to return the selection to sketch mode. How do I get back to the old method?

    Change Win + Shift + S default Snip & Sketch key bind?

    Automatically open Snip & Sketch editor after using snipping tool with Win+Shift+S

    You can open the Snip & Sketch app directly in "new" mode by right-clicking the app (on either the Start Menu App List, on the pinned tile, or on the Task Bar) and select "Take a new snip" from the Jump List menu.

    The Clipboard History feature (October 2018 update) will save and list all items sent to the clipboard, including any snips. These items can then be accessed through Win+V. The hotkey will also take you to the setup for Clipboard History if the feature is not enabled.

    As for your other concerns, I am not sure of how to open editor automatically after sniping using the hotkeys. But the following information could be of use.

    If you take a snip using Shift+Win+S, the Snip & Sketch App's notification should be accessible at the top of the Action/Notification Center side bar even if there's no pop-up. The Notification Center can be accessed through Win+A or through the Notification icon at the end of the task bar (Windows Tips). Clicking on the Snip & Sketch's notification there will launch the editor with the latest snip.

    You could thus use Shift+Win+S for a snip, then Win+A and click on the notification to launch editing.
