I'm trying to open the Windows tool called SnippingTool and look for an option to start a new snip automatically. Something like this:

cmd c:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe /new

Some ideas?

  • There is a AutoHotKey script that you can try. http://www.mrautomaton.com/2015/10/26/automate-snipping-tool-with-autohotkey/ – w32sh Jun 27 '16 at 21:15

    If you are looking for instant screenshot, use `Windows Key` + `Print Screen` to instantly save the screenshot inside _Pictures/Screenshots_ folder. – ruth Jun 27 '16 at 21:22

  • `SnippingTool.exe /clip` will capture a region to clipboard, so you can paste on any picture editor, as well on Windows 10 Creators Update there is a hotkey `Win+Shift+S` – vhanla Jun 08 '17 at 18:29

/clip will do the trick.

Create a link and add C:\Windows\System32\snippingtool.exe /clip.

Then add it to your task bar.

Every time you click, the selection cross will be shown. After selecting, the selection will be copied to the clip board.
