How to take Screenshots with a Surface Pen and ShareX
What is ShareX?
After making the 10 Programs We Cant Live Without video for Madness Labs and a user in the comments named @PeachHackNetrunner recommended ShareX as a program to take screenshots, do annotation, and even do video snippets.
Can you use it with the Surface Pen?
Yes, you probably got here trying to find that out, you can use your pen to take screenshot, you just need to download the screenshot shortcut I made and then bind that shortcut to your Surface Pen using the Windows Settings. Bada-bing, bada-boom, you got screenshotting pen! ^_^
Steps
-
Install ShareX
-
Download and Extract this zip file
-
Click Start and run “Pen Shortcuts”
-
Expand the “Choose what your shortcut button does” and under one of the shortcuts you can set it to “Open a program” and select the “Launch Screenshot” shortcut you unzipped in step 2.
