Print Screen Key Gone

[Dogtrousers]

Yes - frequently!

Here is an example I grabbed when planning one of my rides in Devon... (I used print screen on the mapping software and pasted the image into a paint package to crop it.)

If you'd used the snipping tool you could cut out the pasting and cropping stage and just select the bit you want.

Does anyone use the print screen key? I have been using PC's for about 30 years and don't think I have ever used it.

Regularly.

Although now I probably use snipping tool more.

Saved me a few seconds every day. Cheers!

I'm a snipping tool convert. Its pinned to my task bar so don't have to press 3 buttons at once!

This is a gift that keeps on giving.

I've now pinned it to my taskbar.

My favourite keyboard shortcut and one that is heavily used.

I've just read through this thread, and I don't understand any of it.

No, nor me. It makes less sense than Joe Biden after a large gin.

Who's had the gin? You or Joe Biden?

I usually end up resizing the image too and often changing colours etc. so it isn't a problem to crop in the graphics package while I am at it.

Still, when I am back on the laptop I will play with the snipping tool and see what I think.

snipping tool allows for scribbling stuff on things which is useful

I don't have a printer. I use the one in the library because I refuse to be taken for a ride by the printer ink scam.
Which reminds me, I've got a file I need to take in today.

Back in the days of DOS you used to have to pipe the output of a command to the LPT port so it would appear on the printer and not on the screen. You could also use it to send the result to a file.
