How do I change the keybind for a screenshot?

Anonymous

I tend to play games with a shiftlock in which I usually don't use. When I want to take screenshots with Win + Shift + S it'll automatically enable shiftlock which will adjust what I'm taking a picture of. Is there any way to change it so that it becomes just Win + S ? An additional question is that doing the command above will pull up a screen where I can snip it, is there a way to immediately make it so that it captures the entire screen? Thanks (I don't have the Prt Src button)

    Hi Isaias,

    Regarding the snipping tool shortcut, there's no built-in way to change it.

    As for remapping the snipping tool, you need to download PowerToys by MS.

    To enable the keyboard manager and remap shortcuts, first activate the keyboard manager. Then, proceed to remap the shortcuts by typing in the current shortcut followed by the new desired shortcut.

    I'll send you a screenshot of how it should look like

    Regards,

    Levi

    Hey, Isaias. Since you don’t have the Prt Src button, you can still use Win + Shift + S to grab the whole screen, then just pick the full-screen option from the toolbar that pops up.

    As for changing the keybind to Win + S, Windows doesn’t have a built-in way to do that, but you can use something like PowerToys to remap the keys if you’re up for it.

    Let me know if you need anything else.
