The Mac version is such a joke too. It's almost as good but just not quite there.

What’s wrong with the Mac snipping tool? I can hit cmd-shift-5 to move a resizable window around and set the tools options, like whether to save to file or clipboard, etc. If I hit the shortcut again, the window stays in its previous position, which is handy for one of my particular use cases. You can also hit cmd-shift-4 to get the pointer to click and drag the snip region like in Windows, and the settings chosen with the other format persist

I feel like I have more capability in the Mac snipping interface, but maybe I’m using the Windows one wrong?

Edit - Oh, is it because you can just click on the banner notification thing then directly mark up the screenshot?”

Didn't know about the 4 option, only 5. That will help a lot. The only problem now is getting it on the clipboard. I press cmd c but sometimes the snip tool isn't active for whatever weird reason so I have to click the bar first.

If you do the 5 option then click the Options button in the toolbar, then check both the “Remember Last Selection” and “Save To… Clipboard” you’ll just have to hit cmd-v to paste the snipped image. I’ve never had to hit cmd-c for anything when snipping on Mac myself, so I might be misunderstanding idk.

I mean you can send your Mac snip to preview and mark it up that way

Yeah. I don’t really mark up my screenshots with my main screenshot use case right now though. I was just trying to figure out what the difference was.
