App location for Snip & Sketch

The Windows 10 Snip & Sketch App is a Microsoft Store (UWP) App, so it does not have a traditional ".exe" file or location that can be accessed to create a hotkey.

If you want to create a Hotkey to a UWP App (eg. Snip & Sketch), the easiest way is:

1. Type Shell:Appsfolder in file explorer's address bar or from the Run dialogue (Win+R)
   

This will open the "virtual" start menu apps folder for us to work with.

1. Locate the App (eg. Snip & Sketch), right click and select "Create shortcut." Allow the shortcut to be placed on Desktop.
   
2. Right click on shortcut, enter properties and customize shortcut key.
   

 

Screen Sketch app renamed to Snip & Sketch in Windows 10 Insider build

It seems...

snips will only automatically paste into S&S UI by way of the S&S Menu or S&S jump lists...







UNLESS...

you have Notifications for S&S enabled, then, if you've snipped by way of Win+Shift+S, or other, you can then paste it in S&S UI by clicking on the banner...





btw...

S&S will populate jump lists if you select files and Open with... S&S:
