Greenshot hotkeys

If you waste a lot of time at a computer, then you know how much screen capture utilities totally rock.

One of my favorites is Greenshot, as it makes "capture the region I specify" as easy as pressing the Print Screen button.

However, this is such an awesome function, that other apps like DropBox and OneDrive will also do this, and that means they overwrite the Greenshot settings in the Registry (or something), thus wiping out Greenshot's ability to respond to these hotkey combinations (like Print Screen).

No problem, right? Yeah, whatever.

So, I learned that OneDrive had usurped the hotkeys when Greenshot said "The hotkeys got usurped, I can't help you anymore." Sure enough, when you look at the Greenshot preferences, the hotkey combos are GONE.

So, there's a "reset defaults" button, right? You'd think. Whatever.

Make OneDrive stop owning the Print Screen hotkey.
Make DropBox stop owning the Print Screen hotkey.

And borrowed from IHaveAPC, the Greenshot default hotkeys.

Non-intuitively, the way to fix Greenshot is to open the Preferences,

Then mouse-click in whatever field you want to set the hotkey combo for, press the hotkey combo desired to have Greenshot auto-generate the text and record the key stroke, then click OK.

You know what? There are lots of sites out there that talk about how to do this, but I had to click through a few of them to find all of this info, so I made this post, hoping it saves even one person a bit of frustration.

Icarus Anne Riley - Four Blogs To Say It All

I have four (4) blogs. Icarus Rants The root of all expression. I have a lot of passion. Mostly, I'm passionate about trying to get people to use their damn brains. I cover anything and everything, and there are even some just plain fun things like Musical Monday and Fictional Friday. Theological Thursday got it's own blog - (hint: see next item) Church of the Ignorant Fool I rant about human stupidity and how it blurs together with religion. I grew up Christian, and never really stopped being Christian, although I don't practice any of the dogma or rituals of the established branches. I also rant about other religions. Sometimes I also sneak in a bit of philosophy and my Bigger Picture Than You Can Imagine view of things. I Tell You - You Decide If You Care That's the one you are reading now. I need to clean it up a bit. It's supposed to be light-hearted, but a few rants slipped in when I was more angry that attentive. Eating Your Brain

Basic Fuckanomics

You're born with a ton of fucks to give. So you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You give a fuck about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers opinions ..... you give away too many fucks about way too many things. You have so many. then, as you get older you have maybe ten fucks per month.... so you learn to budget them. You allocate fucks to your family and career, but there aren't enough fucks left to give the newest shit. So someone at work has something they need my help with that's outside my job title? I'll do my best to allocate some fucks, but this month is pretty tight. Then you get even older, so you're down to one or two fucks a month.... and those fucks are damn precious. You give them to your family, your hobbies, your job... and that's kind of it. It's not your fault fucks expire too quickly. I would have liked to save my fucks when I was younger, but I can't. Then you hit fuck insolve

I Tell You. You Decide If You Care.
