OneNote Screen Clipping tool HotKeys in Windows 10?

I use MS OneNote. Initially the Windows+S would bring up screen clipping tool..In windows 8.1 Windows+S became for search..so then I used a work around posted on the MS blog which made the Windows+A the screen clipping tool (via regedit).

https://blogs.office.com/2013/06/27/windows-8-1-preview-and-a-workaround-for-your-favorite-wins-shortcut-key/

Now with Windows 10, Window+A is for Action Center, so now my screen clipping tool does not work

How can I fix this?

I tried Windows+Shift+S and that does not work either

Or what else can I change the regedit value to?

This is an issue but there are ways. The link under will take you to a page that explanes the new way.

The only way is to go down by your clock an click the ^ button. There you see a cutting tool image for

 onenote. You right click it -> OneNote icon default -> take screen clipping. Now this icon is your new shortcut(t)

OR you use:

windowsbutton + shift + S

    I also have this issue.  I used the Reg key in that same blog (ScreenClippingShortcutKey) to change the hotkey to "Z" since A & S are both used in Windows 10.  However, I found that just Windows Key + Z does not work, I must press Windows Key + Shift + Z to get it to work.  I use it so much that I wish it were just 2 keys, but it works.

    To set it to "Z", I set the ScreenClippingShortcutKey regkey to "90" in Decimal. 

    If you want to set it to a different key, use this to determine what to set the regkey to:

    Does anyone know if there's another key available to make a shortcut out of? I use this screen/clip grabber daily, and am missing it after only a few hours of Win 10 on my desktop!

    Hi, 

    You can set a new letter, like Y. So the shortcut for the screen clipping it will be like this: Win+Y.

    The setup is very easy, just change the value to 59 on  ScreenClippingShortcutKey- redegit program.

    Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options\Other

    See the screenshot below for more details:

    To have a look on the hex values for the keyboard keys, check this link: Hex Values for keyboard keys

    I hope it works for you.

    Brgds,

    Bruno Heck
