? Guest #Alt + O OP says :

I need some help with Greenshot please
The select destination dynamically enabled was switched off in greenshot. The output was saved to MS Word. I would like to change the output back to where I can edit the screenshot but, I cannot open the app to change the setting and when I right click theit says it is already open and there is no preference option.

? Stuffy OP says :

I wish there was a shortcut key to add a border to captured images.

I use this all the time so when I drop screengrabs into a document it's clearer / easier for the reader to discern where the image starts and ends. Particularly when taking a screengrab from a browser and dropping it into a support reply (white background of screengrab merges with white background of page)

Hi, same. I wish they had a border shortcut.

? Guest OP says :

Why isnt there a zoom in zoom/magnify in the editor?????

I wish you could configure Greenshot so that you can use different keyboard shortcuts for "Capture and save to clipboard" and "Capture and open in editor".

Please!! I still want this. I've been waiting years!

? Anders OP says :

Hi,
Great product!
Why is Ctrl + Shift + C used as the "Copy image to clipboard"? I recan it would be more useful if Ctrl + C is used as the hotkey for "Copy image to clipboard", since this is the generic windows copy function.

? Anders OP says in reply to Anders :

Or maybe allow the user to override the Copy image to clipboard via the product setttings.
Thanks!

Zeynel Admin says in reply to Anders :

Thank you for your comment! Just a reminder we're not the developer of the Greenshot. Maybe it'll be better if you also write program developer or their community directly, because they probably aren't following these comments here.

? quick OP says :

Adding the space bar will force to whatever region your cursor is on.

? djmarx83 OP says :

alt + a - this hotkey clears the textbox while you write, so can write everything again, Apparently in polish language we have letter "ą", which we type using alt+a. So as a result while you type in textbox your test disappears !

? Bafeu says in reply to djmarx83 :

Dj Marx, Robisz tak, piszesz sobie co tam chcesz, klikasz alt i a, pojawia się ą, wszystko znika. Kopiujesz sobie ą które masz w okienku tekstowym i klikasz ctrl + z, znika ą, ale pojawia się to co znikło i wklejasz skopiowane ą i piszesz dalej ;) Temat klepany w greenshocie od lat, ale nikt już nic z tym raczej nie zrobi :P

Sorry that this is in Polish, but I think other languages don't have this problem :P
