I would love build-in screenshot tool so much...

I still miss some great screenshot tool. This and the ability to send websites from mobile browser to PC are the only things keeping me from using Edge as my main browser. Hope we can expect screensh...

Hi,
if you're on Windows 10, you can use Snip & Sketch which is a built in app and it supports, full screen snips, shapes, custom area screenshots etc. you can also make the PrntScrn key on your keyboard to launch that app.

also the classic Edge has web inking which is also integrated with OneNote, would be nice if Microsoft could bring it to this new Edge.

    HotCakeXSnip and Sketch doesn't really do what I need for my work. I need full-sized screenshots of a webpage with scrolling. And picking elements of the website to screenshot is incredibly useful for my job.

     

    In Firefox you can just open Screenshot tool, point with a mouse on some image (or block of text, or whatever) and it automatically selects that item and makes a screenshot of just that thing. No editing and clipping needed. Snip and Sketch is definitely a useful feature for someone else but Firefox style screenshots would help me immensely 🙂

     

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love this in Edge. Many people love Firefox just because of features like this super useful screenshot tool.

     

    I also miss super great PDF viewer from original Edge and smooth scrolling, but we already know these things are hopefully coming.

      What do you think about the classic Edge's screenshot and clipping tools?
      it's got pen, highlighter, eraser, adding notes, clipping, touch writing and so on.
      also the integration with OneNote. how does that compare with Firefox's scrennshot tools, in your opinion?

        HotCakeXIt's great but very similar to Snip and Sketch except integration of Onenote. You can supplement it pretty well. I miss PDF viewer way more.

         

        I'm looking for something else. The option to pick individual elements of the website automatically by just clicking on it is incredibly useful. If you just drag to pick some area of the website you will never get as precise and you will not get the biggest possible resolution.

         

        Also, screenshots of a full website with scrolling are super useful if I need to describe a whole website to our codder. For example
