Main Interface Hotkeys

A hotkey is a key press combination that sends a command to SnagIt to activate a capture or application command. Using a hotkey provides a short-cut method to taking your captures. Using a hotkey also allows you to quickly take your captures without having to interact with the SnagIt interface.

Application hotkeys invoke a command for the SnagIt application itself. These include repeating the last capture, hiding/unhiding SnagIt, and the Global Capture hotkey. The Global Capture hotkey is used to invoke a capture using the profile that is currently loaded into the Capture Setting pane. This is used when no profile-specific hotkey has been set up.

The following default hotkeys are used in all view of the main interface of SnagIt. To customize these hotkeys, select Tools > Program Preferences > Hotkeys.

To Do This:
Press this Key Combination:
Global capture
Print Screen
Hide/Unhide SnagIt
CTRL + SHIFT + X
Repeat Last Capture
CTRL + SHIFT + R

To customize the hotkeys for a specific profile, right-click the profile in the Profiles pane and select Set Hotkey.

Working with Profiles

Overview of Profiles

SnagIt Profiles are a very important part of SnagIt and understanding how to use, create, and edit profiles allows you to seamlessly fit the screen capture process into your typical work routine.

Overall, profiles allow you to quickly take a capture using a set of predefined capture instructions which include the capture mode, input and output settings, filters, and more. The profiles can be found within the Profiles pane on SnagIt's main interface.

Move the cursor over and pause on a profile to see what settings are included in that profile. The settings display in a tip.

Overall, there are two types of profiles: those that are preconfigured that are built-in to SnagIt and those that you create on your own, or custom profiles.

All profiles can be edited, used as a base to create another profile, imported, or exported.

Note: All modifications to any existing profiles as well as all new profiles and groups are automatically updated to the SnagIt OneClick screen. See also SnagIt OneClick.
