Maybe you would try this:

It's ironic the timing... I had just earlier tonight put this in a couple of other MS Tech Forums where I write...I often wonder if people realize Snips can be done right from Snip & Sketch's 'commands' on its jumplist; don't, even have to go to/open its window.Speaking of jumplists... for so many things, their jumplists offer 'commands' that one can often work directly with/from an item's jumplist. Rt Clk on various apps & browsers (try Twitter for example) and, if you haven't already, discover all that your jumplists offer you.
