ShareX hotKeys compatible with Lightshot Hotkeys

ShareX hotKeys compatible with Lightshot Hotkeys

Use below settings top ensure that you can use both apps at same time, use keyboard keys to capture screen shots + recordings reliably.

The main thing we want is to ensure that Lightshot Printscreen does not interfere with ShareX Print screen, we can do this by creating mutually exclusive hotkeys.

Lightshot:

PrintScr key: used for lightshot since lightshot is great for capture / sharing and annotating screen image captures.

ShareX:

Shift + Print :I use Shift + Print screen to capture images for ShareX and combinations of

Shift + F7 and CTRL+Shift+F7 for screen recording.

Then only keys u have to remember is: Capture Screen: PrintScr Record Screen: Shift+F7 (or Ctrl+Shift+F7)

Set the hotkeys

See this video tutorial here

*** Remember that uploaded screen recordings can be viewed as a Video by simply adding a v to url:
