Man what does "snipping tool" even mean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

Screenshot. With features thats it imo

snip /snĭp/

intransitive verb

  1. 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.
