Hotkeys and Print Screen Troubleshooting

Use the hotkeys below to start PicPick capture modes from the keyboard. If PicPick cannot register a Print Screen shortcut, another program may already be using the key.

1. Default Capture Hotkeys

Type	Description	Default shortcut
Full-screen	Captures the entire desktop.	PrintScreen
Active Window	Captures the currently active window.	Alt + PrintScreen
Window Control	Captures a specific window control or UI element.	Ctrl + PrintScreen
Scrolling Window	Captures a window or area with scrolling content.	Ctrl + Alt + PrintScreen
Region	Captures a rectangular region you select on the screen.	Shift + PrintScreen
Fixed Region	Captures a predefined rectangular region.	Shift + Ctrl + PrintScreen
Freehand	Captures a region by drawing a freehand shape.	Shift + Ctrl + Alt + PrintScreen
Repeat Last Capture	Reuses the previous capture settings.	None

2. Why PicPick May Not Register Print Screen

Some programs assign the Print Screen key to their own screenshot feature. When that happens, PicPick may not be able to use the same shortcut until the other program releases it.

Common programs that can intercept Print Screen include:

• Logi Options+
• Windows Snipping Tool
• OneDrive
• Dropbox

3. Logi Options+

Logi Options+ may assign the Print Screen key to its own Screen Capture action. Change the assignment back to Print screen.

3.1 Select the Logitech device

1. Open Logi Options+.
2. Select the keyboard or mouse device you want to configure.
3. Open the Keys or Buttons section.

3.2 Select the Print Screen key

1. Find the Print screen key in the keyboard diagram.
2. Click that key to edit its assignment.

3.3 Change the assignment

1. In the assignment panel, select Print screen instead of Screen capture.
2. Confirm that the key is no longer assigned to Logi's own screen capture action.

3.4 Confirm Print screen is selected

The screenshot shows Print screen selected above other choices such as Refresh and Screen capture.

4. Windows Snipping Tool

Windows can use the Print Screen key to open screen capture. Turn that setting off so PicPick can use the key.

3. Find the On-screen keyboard, access keys, and Print Screen section.
4. Turn off the setting that uses the Print Screen key to open screen capture.
5. Restart PicPick or reapply the PicPick hotkey if needed.
