You're welcome & yes, it is very similar, BUT... There is, at least, one definite difference... besides Web capture being within Edge.
And that is Web Capture's Full Screen. It allowing to scroll and actually take the whole page, S&S cannot do. S&S will do a Window Mode snip, which is a fix image (like a photo) of what it ''sees' at that moment. Whereas Full Screen moves the page to include ALL of it if wanted AND that is what is seen if & when shared or saved.
Even if Rectangular Mode is used for S&S it is a 'fixed' image taken, like a still photograph. Web Capture will scroll to the bottom & then take the whole page.
Thank-You Drew for the information and Images. I had a chance to play with it a little bit, and I also feel this is a Very Cool feature. So basically it works much similar to "Snip & Sketch"
Cheers!
Ok, allow me to clarify... Web Capture is (now) 'more' than it was initially. And within Edge it actually does more & better than S&S. Web capture has some 'controls', but one may not be noticing those icons. First of all, initiating WC, gives 2 buttons, Free Select AND Full Page. Free Select then has Copy OR Add Notes. Copy is obvious, can then Drop /paste somewhere. But Add Notes opens up a bunch of possibilities. (See pictures 👇)
Now, Full Page... This is cool... one can move the page and take as much of it as wanted, even, right to the bottom. And, again, a bunch of possibilities are then available.
Web Capture is available in Canary, Dev & GA and all without a flag. Its button can be turned on in Settings > Appearance
Plus, the neat thing is it's all right within Edge itself.
From Full Page:
I do wish I would see a response to pointing out (to them) that Ctrl+Shift+x is wrong, does nothing and it is, correctly, actually, Ctrl+Shift+S
These are two different functions, but you'll have to do a bit of experimentation to spot the differences.
Ctrl-Shift-S takes a snapshot of the (part of the) viewport that you select. It won't extend into the page chrome, like Winkey-Shift-S will.
Ctrl-Shift-X invokes *Smart copy,*which does more or less the same, but with the intention of capturing essential formatting and transferring it to the target. You may find that the results vary with both the page you're copying from and what you're copying to.
Trying out Smart copy in Canary, I'm so far underwhelmed, but I expect it to improve with age. Not everyone has the function yet, it seems.
