Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.

Man what does "snipping tool" even mean

I don't like this word either, selective screenshot or sth...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Screenshot. With features thats it imo

snip /snĭp/

intransitive verb

To cut, clip, or separate (something) with short, quick strokes.

How the heck is that related to screenshot

It's usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.
