FluxClip
Screenshot utility for Windows.
Table of Contents
Motivation
Windows built-in methods for taking screenshots are fine, but I wanted a way to be able to have more control over making area selections because I take LOTS of screenshots and I like better precision and control.
Features
Like most sceenshot tools you have 3 methods of taking screenshots:
- Fullscreen (Desktop)
- Window (Client/Gui)
- Selection (Click and Drag)
My utility adds add a secondary Selection method:
- Selection (Select Points)
Sorry, no free-form... yet.
Only the selection methods show a preview.
Usage
FluxClip runs in the Windows System Tray and can be accessed with hotkeys. Hotkey Detection can be toggled by a hotkey or from the System Tray or gui (in selection preview) menu. All pitcures save as Screenshot_<timestamp>.png on the user's Desktop.
This is an AutoHotkey program and can either be ran by my single file, compiled executables or from the multiple source script files.
Hotkeys
Hotkeys - Anywhere

Notes:
- Point B can be changed at any time and as many times as you want as long as the [Alt] key is still held down.
