CLEAN SHOT X FOR MAC WINDOWS

ShareX only requires you to memorize one keyboard shortcut, and then its a single click to either do a full screen capture, window capture, or region capture. Takes a bit of configuring, for example I recommend disabling tabs, but overall it's good enough for me) (On Linux the closest thing I have found to ShareX is ksnip. After capture it can automatically add the image to your clipboard, or open it in an external image editor, or upload it to imgur and add the link to your clipboard, etc etc. ShareX also supports a ton of different other workflows. * annotation flow: start => annotate => capture * normal flow: start => capture => close preview * annotation flow: start => capture => annotate Because for the times you don't need to annotate, you still have to close the preview window. Imo this is way better than how macOS opens the editor afterwards. There's also annotation and drawing tools directly in the screenshot mode. * hover over a window and left click to capture a specific window Just a single shortcut to enter screenshot mode. No need to memorize different shortcuts for each kind of screenshot.

Using ShareX on Windows is like night and day. I never found screenshotting on macOS intuitive. We're all emacs keystroke users in this narrow sense. I said emacs, because the basics of modifying lines of text in most things now, are emacs line modifiers by inheritance: because the X10-> X11 -> XOrg uplift means that the web omnibar and text boxes are inherently derived from X, the keystrokes to edit text are inherited from MIT X which inherited from MIT emacs.Īs a VI user I just had to come to terms with this: Sure, you CAN force override them to VI friendly form, nobody does: Between Gnome and KDE, there is no policing. Much though Microsoft tries, it doesn't police this well enough across the independent app vendors outside of a tiny core of functions. The key here, is ownership of the UI/UX: they police this. You are invited to (subconsciously) consider CMD+key as the base to learn, and then CMD+OPTION or CMD+SHIFT variants as the obvious alternates. I regard that as seeking intuitive behaviour. what do we bind to the alternates via option/shift' so it makes contextual sense. They do the best they can inside the circumstances, and then having chosen a base key, they say 'ok. You cannot realistically make every single cmd+ mnemonic. The quality I take from it, is that the cmd/option/shift behaviours as modifiers, are policed well, and its like emacs: there's an overall consistency to what they want you to do, burned into muscle memory.
