    Using ALT makes it just capture only the current window rather than the entire screen.

    Windows+Shift+S for their Windows 11 snipping tool, which lets you control what you want to get.

      What if you want the whole window? :) Seriously though, that's actually cool to know. Windows has enough built-in options. I wouldn't install another tool for this.

        What happens is Windows+Shift+S pops a bar from the top center of the monitor. There are 4 options (modes) on it: rectangle, freeform/lasso (just draw with mouse and get what you enclose), window, and full screen. Just click what you need. If one of the first 3 options, then you use the mouse to determine what you get. For window mode, just click into a window to get all of that window. Unfortunately, you can't take a screenshot of the snipping tool's bar as it disappears when you start use any of the modes.

          I have a license of SnagIt already, and plan to try some free screen shot software. Any experience or recommendations? thanks a million:rose:

          For years, I am using simply the good old (Shift)PrintScreen function that exists since the days of DOS and the crop the image if needed in IrfanView. Never bothered with any special "screenshot software"...

                  I had to disable the Windows snipping tool shortcut after a certain Windows update (MS made it the default for print screen), but other than that it's been fine for me.
