Screenshot Tool #

When you need a configured app to analyze a question, an image, or a block of code, OneMoreBrain can capture either a selected region or your full desktop. Captures are copied to the clipboard and can be written to disk by the app.

Taking a Screenshot (`Ctrl + Shift + S`) #

1. Ensure the content you want to capture is visible on your screen.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + S.
3. The client hides its main window and displays a still image of your desktop with a crosshair.
4. Click and drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture.
5. Release the mouse button.

Press Esc or right-click to cancel selection. A zero-width or zero-height selection is ignored.

What Happens Next? #

• A bitmap copy is placed on the Windows clipboard so it can also be pasted manually.
• A JPEG copy is written under the working directory's Screenshots folder with a timestamped filename. The full-screen shortcut also uses this JPEG path as part of its processing.
• The JPEG is resized before being sent to the active built-in browser tab.
• If no supported app tab is active, the image is not sent.

The "Freeze" Feature #

The selection view is based on a snapshot taken when the hotkey is pressed. It lets you select a stable frame even when the underlying window is changing. The full-screen shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + X) skips the selection box and sends the whole virtual desktop to the active tab.

Best Practices #

• Make sure the intended app is the active tab before taking the screenshot.
• Keep the selection focused on the necessary information. Smaller images upload and process faster.
• Remember that captures are available locally in the clipboard and may also be written in Screenshots. Clear the clipboard and remove files separately if they are no longer needed.
