Why the hell did no-one tell me I could actually make the Prt Sc button useful?

pcgamer.com:

Right up there with the Turbo button on '90s PCs, the Prt Sc button on your keyboard is almost as useless. Microsoft is about to change that, however, with the Turbo button making a stunning comeback! I'm joking, of course, it's set to actually make the Prt Sc key worthwhile(opens in new tab) by making it launch the operating system's screen capturing Snipping mode.

In the latest test version of Windows 11, available via the Beta channel of the Windows Insider program, the fix is in. That means, by default, the Prt Sc key will now open the snipping tool on a single keypress, giving you access to Snipping mode, whether that's the standard rectangular select, freeform, window, or full-screen modes.

Previously, hitting the Prt Sc key would simply save the entire desktop to your clipboard, but if you wanted to actually save it as a screenshot you'd have to open up a separate app and paste the image into it. What a waste of time.

And yes, I know I can smash out a combo with Win + Prt Sc and save a full desktop capture to my machine, but that doesn't work for me, either. I dual-screen, so capturing the entire desktop is rarely of any benefit.

With this new change to the default Windows setup, however, the barely used, oft-ignored key will have a new lease of life, saving you literally minutes of your life otherwise spent contorting your digits to hit the Shift + Win + S key combo and launch the capture dialog.

This then gives it both the functionality of saving a screenshot to the clipboard and to your screenshots folder at the same
