Switching from macOS: The Basics

I've gotten in the habit of screenshotting. With one hot key (cmd shift 4) I pick a region and a file is placed on my desktop. This turns out to be far more useful in more circumstances for me. (The only image dragging I do is within chrome to send someone an image through hangouts.)

Just FYI, screenshotting is taking a limited-resolution, imperfectly cropped PNG from what is usually a compressed JPG. You just need to get into the habit of right clicking and "save as" and the resulting image with have perfect fidelity with the original.

That doesn't really help me when I'm, for example, sharing a flash ad or a video or any number of other things, like my Hearthstone state.

Oh okay you meant screenshots in general. I thought you were screencapping jpegs.

I do that too. I actually like the consistent interface, so to speak.
