And, by using that key as a confirmation-step, you get a whole bunch of extra functionality that you say you don't use
Yes, which is entirely useless to me and not something I want. Incredibly simple concept you're having trouble with.
Which, if you don't use it, will still give you the exact same functionality, and doesn't affect you.
Nope, you're really shit at reading comprehension. It does not function exactly the same, that's the problem.
Consider if you ever need to repeat the screen grab 10x times, the difference is:
I will not as I do not ever need to do that. Idk what weird world you live in where you'd ever need to take 10 screenshots of the same still screen but I can think of even easier ways to manage something like that then with a Printscreen manager.
I find it fascinating to care so strongly
You're the one typing out multi-paragraph replies to me simply stating that windows does this better and it's silly that Linux doesn't have something as simple as Snip. I don't really care at all as it's one keypress, it's just funny.
objectively a worse approach in every single way
Subjectively, you mean. I do not need or want hose extra features and it now takes time to tell my PC to not use those features. So no, it's a worse approach to me.
And to care so strongly about that one keypress, that the optional versatility that gives (toggle video recording, adjust rectangle, reuse rectangle, move rectangle with same dimensions) is all in all considered a worse alternative
You really have a hard time with other people valuing stuff differently then you, huh?
Those features are less than worthless to me. I do not ever need or want them. The fact that the software cannot handle that I don't is useless bloat, which Linux is usually all about removing.
To each their own, and UX design is arguably not yours.
Go fuck yourself you stuck up prick. Fucking Linux users I swear
