How do you capture on Windows like you can on Mac?


Recommended Posts

Capturing on the Mac is extremely fast in that you just press Alt Shift 4, aim and snap, it automatically saves it with the date and time as the name of the file.

How can you automatically save what you captured right after you captured it, with the name automatically set to the date and time of the capture? I'm tired of the Snipping Tool and miss the Mac capturing.

At least, I want it to offer the saving option with some randomly generated string of characters instead of me having to erase the default name (Right now the default title of any capture is "Capture" in Korean - before I changed the whole interface to Korean I think it saved it as a random number or the date of the capture)

Then I am really glad I am on Windows, and I can save my screen captures with a name of my choice; I would hate it if it would do that to me. If you need that capture half a year later, how could you possibly remember when it was taken?
