Windows 10: SNIP and then add text & arrows, etc.

W10 desktop with mouse and keyboard. I see the new Snip and Sketch, and I see that I can use the mouse to draw "imperfect" lines of different colors. But how can I really update the raw snippet with straight or diagonal lines, typed words, and even shapes like circles, etc? Yes, I know that probably everyone in the world but me probably already know the best way to do this. If I have posted this question to the wrong group, please tell me where to post.

Is there a way to apply shapes and text in Windows Snipping Tool?

Windows Snipping tool drawing and delay features are great, but I often find myself trying to write on snips, and drawing arrows.

So from time to time i'm forced to copy paste to Microsoft power point, turning this into a two program step.

Is there a way to enable shapes, and text in snipping tool, or some sort of plug in?

 

snipping tool

Your post is unclear. Please post a step-by-step description of what you are doing, e.g. like so:

• Open the snipping tool
• Click "New"
• etc.

 

Arrows in Snip & Sketch

I do not disagree with you.

But I would like to defend the developers too, that users with touchscreens should be able to sketch arrows and shapes easily with one hand or pen, rather than clicking on a command then do that. In a way, this tool is targeted more for the touchscreen users.
