02.2 · Capturing Screenshots

Fullscreen Capture

Fullscreen capture takes everything on every connected monitor, in one shot, with no selection overlay.

How to Trigger

SurfaceAction
Global hotkeyCtrl+Shift+F (remappable — see 10.2)
Main toolbarClick the Fullscreen button
System trayRight-click the tray icon and pick Fullscreen Capture

What Happens

  1. No overlay is shown — the capture fires immediately (or after the delay, see 02.3).
  2. All monitors are combined into a single wide bitmap.
  3. If Capture.PlaySound is on, the shutter sound plays.
  4. If Capture.CopyToClipboard is on, the image is placed on the clipboard.
  5. The capture lands in the MainWindow preview and is added to history.
  6. If Capture.OpenEditorAfterCapture is on, the annotation editor opens (see 03.1).

Multi-Monitor Behaviour

Tex's fullscreen capture always captures all monitors combined. There is no single-monitor option for screenshots today.

Tip

Tip — You can scope screen recording to a specific monitor with Recording.MonitorDeviceName (see 05.4). That setting does not affect screenshot capture.

Tip

Tip — Fullscreen is the fastest way to archive "what was on screen" before closing a dialog or dismissing a notification. Pair it with Capture.DefaultDelay = 3 to capture tooltips and hover states (see 02.3).
