This keyboard shortcut makes Edge higher than Chrome

ChromeOS has a local screenshot characteristic. Chrome doesn’t. And its rivals are exploiting this oversight. 

Sufficient that I at the moment like Edge higher than Chrome. These are phrases I by no means thought I’d say.

A part of this is because of Home windows. I really like how simple it’s to take screenshots now utilizing keystrokes (WIN + SHIFT + S, in case you didn’t already know). However Home windows 11 routinely saves all screenshots by default—that is usually helpful, however not at all times obligatory. And even needed. If it captures private particulars that then will get beamed to OneDrive by way of automated backup (or somebody good points entry to the PC), that might change into an issue.

I make some extent of periodically cleansing up junky or delicate screencaps, but it surely’s an additional drag on my time I’d want to keep away from.

The higher different: Utilizing CTRL + SHIFT + S in Edge, Firefox, and Courageous. It grabs a screenshot that doesn’t routinely save, and you’ll choose as a lot or as little of the display screen as you need. (Not like the ol’ dependable PRINTSCREEN [or PRTSC] key, which solely grabs a full display screen seize.) It’s additionally similar to the Home windows shortcut. I discover it very simple to change backwards and forwards when selecting a everlasting screenshot (Home windows keyboard shortcut) or a short lived screenshot (e.g., for dropping right into a message chat or e mail).

Add in my favourite fast approach to clear the clipboard once I’m all executed, and now I spend a lot much less psychological vitality on digital decluttering and privateness worries.

However Google is the holdout on this pattern. It’s an actual disgrace, too. As a result of till it does, I’ll maintain utilizing Edge a bit extra. (Feels so bizarre.)
