What's New

Smart Window Snap

Custom capture (-cs) now automatically detects and highlights windows and controls under your cursor — no more dragging by hand when you just want a window.

  • Move the mouse over the overlay to highlight any window, panel, toolbar, sidebar, or child control
  • A teal border appears around the detected region; everything outside is dimmed
  • Click a highlighted region to capture it instantly
  • Drag anywhere to fall back to a free-selection rectangle. Both modes work in the same overlay
  • Moving more than 4 px after pressing the mouse button automatically switches to drag mode
  • Right-click or Esc to cancel at any time

Window enumeration runs on a background thread so the overlay opens immediately with no freeze.


New Settings
