Capture an area: Snipe (Win+Shift+S)

  1. Press Win+Shift+S (by default, Momento replaces the Windows capture tool), or click the “Snipe” button in the Instants tab.
  2. The screen freezes. Pick a mode at the top: Rectangle, Circle, Freeform, or Text (OCR).
  3. Drag to select the area (a single click = full screen).

The area is copied to the clipboard AND saved to Instants. Esc, right-click or the cross cancel.

Momento and the Windows capture tool

  1. On first launch, Momento enables “Replace the Windows capture tool”: Win+Shift+S opens Momento’s Snipe instead of the Windows tool.
  2. To go back to the Windows tool: Settings → Shortcuts, disable the option — Snipe then returns to Ctrl+Shift+S.
