What is the Snipping Tool and what does Snipping Tool Hot Key do?


The Snipping Tool may be one of the most useful utilities available in Windows 7 and Windows Vista. It allows you to easily create a screenshot (also know as a screen capture or snapshot) and then alter and manipulate this image to fit your needs. This feature is far superior to similar versions like Windows XP’s Alt-Printscreen and Mac OS X’s Grab and it is loaded with editing options like highlighting and free form pen tools in an assortment of colors, thicknesses, and pen tips.

To learn more about how the Snipping Tool can work for you visit Microsoft’s Windows Help and How-to page, Use Snipping Tool to capture screen shots. You’ll be amazed at how useful the Snipping Tool can be.

The only real problem with the Snipping Tool is that Windows doesn’t give you a hotkey for it. Anytime you want to bring it up you’ll have to go through an annoying series of repetitive clicks. In Vista, for example, you have to: Click the Start button > Click All Programs > Click Accessories > Click Snipping Tool.

Now with Software Candy’s Snipping Tool Hot Key you can pull up the Snipping Tool just by clicking the “Pause” button on your keyboard. Why bother with multi-key fixes when we’ve created a single finger hotkey solution?

New! With the introduction of Version 2.0,  Snipping Tool Hot Key now supports the 64-bit versions for Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Note: The snipping tool doesn't exist in Vista Home Basic and Windows 7 Starter. Moreover, even with Vista Business and Vista Ultimate you might not find it easily - simply because it may not be activated. In such case, activate it using the following steps:
  1. Go to Control Panel and open Program and Features (you may need to click Programs first).
  2. Click Turn Windows features on or off.
  3. If prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
  4. Scroll through the list of features, check the box next to Tablet PC Optional Components, and click OK.
The above enabling steps are not rquired in Windows 7.  To learn more about the various Vista editions and the differences between them, you can visit this SuperSite for Windows.

As with all Software Candy products, Snipping Tool Hot Key is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after itself.
