off-topic: Under Windows 11 MS renamed "Snip & Sketch" to "Snipping Tool" and replaced to original snipping tool with it.

Feels like the gave up to overcome muscle memory. At least i continued using the og snipping tool under windows 10 because in german the new tool was named "Ausschneiden und Skizzieren" and that didn't map to me searching for "sni" and pressing enter.

Try Win+Shift+S for instant click/drag screenshot to clipboard. I haven't opened the snip tool GUI since I found out. It also has GUI buttons for window/freeform/fullscreen if you ever need that.

In Windows 11 there's also a setting to make the "Print Screen"-key work in the same way as Win + Shift + S. The setting is called "Use the Print screen button to open screen snipping".

How did I not know about Windows+Shift+S until just now?
