I did not know that. - Russellreno

very nice - BEX

And when in screen capture mode, you can also draw on the screen to annotate things and draw shapes! (After you hit Print Screen, right-click anywhere on the screen to explore options.) - afan

You can customize the keyboard shortcut if you want: Tools > Options > Clipper. - Andrew

@afan - OMG! I didn't know about the drawing mode stuff! That's awesome! Thanks for pointing that out! If it would let you add text it would be perfect. I have been recapturing with Fireshot and making annotations but this will work for quick and dirty stuff. Sweet! - Lindsay

@Sin Trenton - This feature of Evernote was available since Evernote 2.1 as an additional application; In Evernote 3 it merged with the main app. Unfortunately, this works with Windows version only. - afan

@Lindsay D. - I'm using the clip & draw option a lot and I personally don't suffer from the lack of text option -- when I do a screenshot and add some marks on top of it, I clip it into Evernote and add the text, to-do checkboxes inside the note (not on top of the image itself). This works perfectly for me. BTW, here's my video contribution to "How I use Evernote" project where I describe the use of screen annotation as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch... (sorry for my English) - afan

Some more tips on Evernote clipper on Windows: 1) while in drawing mode, you can use Ctrl+Z to undo strokes (multi-level), 2) when in screen capture mode (either while drawing or resizing selection), you can use the standard Ctrl+C shortcut to put the selection to clipboard (instead of adding it to Evernote) and Ctrl+S to save selection as PNG file (with Save As... prompt). This will make clipper handy not only for putting stuff into Evernote, but for a wider set of everyday tasks. - afan

In drawing mode, you can also use S key for Recognize Shapes. I like the feature very much. http://877.blog2.fc2.com/blog-en... - tsukitaro
