It is Windows Key/Shift/ s, which copies your selection to the clipboard. Today, my mind was blown! I used the screen capture to the clipboard, then, for my purpose, pasted the selection into Word. Then in Word I added a couple of arrows to points of interest. Then without saving, I took another image of the result to the clipboard. Next, I went to a Group of mine in Facebook, posted with the "photo". Worked great! 😀 Misty (368)

Worked great! �� Yep MS add small things like that during each build /Upgrade, sometimes its obvious others like you discovered -Ewww didn't know that existed :)

With the insiders you get to try things out, sometimes they add something - then remove as it doesn't work as expected, other times its added in, and more or less gets forgotten about.

One other clipboard action they added in that hardly anyone knows about -- Windows Key + V It shows the clipboard history, meaning you can add several items to the clipboard at once and select which you want :)

Edited: if its not working its either not turned on - Heres how www.addictivetips.com OR the version of Windows is not upto date with the latest features.

1458486 2019-02-22 07:31:00 Yep, wainuitech, know that one, though don't use much. Also, a plus, which disappears after each session. Misty (368)

He then came back wanting more data hoping the query was saved, OOPS, no but I had copied part of it. A quick clipboard history digging later and it was back :) pcuser42 (130)

1458489 2019-02-23 02:14:00 I can't see a clipboard in my Win10 V1803. I presume that isn't the latest update although it says my computer says "you are up to date". Pato (2463)
1458490 2019-02-23 02:21:00 Didn't Ctrl + Printscreen do the same thing?? paulw (1826)

If you wanted to upgrade the use the Media Creation Tool www.microsoft.com Not all Computers get fed the updates right away. The next Windows is due out shortly 1903.

1458492 2019-02-23 02:33:00 Didn't Ctrl + Printscreen do the same thing?? Yes but it only holds 1 snapshot, where as the updated versions can hold several , don't know how many but got at least 11 on mine currently. wainuitech (129)
