How to do it on Windows
Open Preferences from the tray menu, edit capture shortcuts and check for conflicts. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Right-click the Greenshot tray icon and open Preferences.
- Step 2. Find the hotkey settings and assign unused combinations for each capture mode.
- Step 3. Apply the settings, then test each shortcut in a regular desktop app.
How to verify the result
Each shortcut should activate only the intended capture mode. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
