I just use the built-in screen snip. You can configure it to activate on press of the "print screen" key.

I like to be able to records gifs/mp4s quickly as well, for reporting some issue with an animation on a website or whatever. On Linux I like to use Peek for that, and I use the built-in Screenshot tool otherwise on Ubuntu.

On windows you can use win+g which allows you to record videos of the current window. I think it’s for games but it works for everything else pretty well.

It's also bound to Windows-Shift-S by default, as of 2018

Unfortunately scoop stopped being maintained. See https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/2609#issuecommen...

Shovel, a fork of scoop, is being maintained however. https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core

for screen shots, I mucked around with a bunch and ended up using lightshot https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html and a tool called GifCam to take animated Gif screenshots.

Second scoop: it’s smart use of symlinks and no need for admin is exactly what Windows CLI needs.
