One never wants to speak ill of their lover, but it is true that until the Onetastic add-in arrived, cropping and resizing screenshots were features that OneNote lacked. You can’t deny the benefits that Snagit provides – quick cropping and resizing, blurring selections, as well as a zillion stamps to add an additional apply a layer of context to your image.

In the world of software preferences – if OneNote holds the spot as my life partner, then Snagit is my loyal best friend. Note: If Snagit is open, the Print Screen button allows you to take screen clippings, instead of simply capture an entire screenshot. After I discovered TechSmith Snagit Editor to capture screen clippings as well as screenshots via the Print Screen button was a huge time saver – not to mention they opened automatically in the Snagit Editor. (How frequent you ask? We’re talking 8+ hours a day.)įor example, taking screen clippings via “Send to OneNote” using the Windows + S keys is a keyboard shortcut combination I use at least 20 times a day…īefore OneNote came into my life, I used the Print Screen button and Paint, with pretty amateur results. I use OneNote so frequently that some of the program-specific keyboard shortcuts have become hardwired into my habits.
