what if I set hotkey to Shift+ ? then save to file is unreachable?

I've tried setting it to Shift+1. Pressing just 1 will save it to a file, similar to original ZoomIt behavior.

To finish recording you need to enter "Record video" (ctrl+5) hotkey, not (ctrl+shift+5). Might be worth pointing out, make it clear.
Also, same Q - what if I set hotkey that uses Shift or Alt?

or is this a bug? Because alt+ctrl+5 both starts and ends recording of the window

Took it from the original ZoomIt UI:
Actually Ctrl+Shift+5 is another mode. (crop and record)

let me rephrase:
- if you enter crop and record mode (Ctrl + Shift + 5) , same hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + 5) does not end it. You have to pres Ctrl + 5
This is not the case for window record mode (Ctrl + Alt + 5). You end it with Ctrl + Alt + 5

Should timer color be preserved? It is only correct after I change some other timer setting
DrawMode sometimes fails to start properly, it takes the cursor and "freezes" the desktop, but there's no actual cursor and nothing happens on clicking. I can exit that mode on Esc as expected. Type mode works as expected when this happens. Also, pressing a button to change color brings the cursor up and everything starts working.
My cursor gets stuck unvisible when:
ctrl+4 to enter live zoom mode
press 2, select area and either save or cancel
cursor is gone and stays gone until PT is closed
If I press Choose Font option, select anything and then try Ctrl+7 to Demo Type, it also opens Choose Font dialog
Forget about this, I just didn't know how to use DemoType

Yes, different cultures present percents in a different way 🤷

@stefansjfw , thank you for the review. Not sure if I tested it exactly as you, but this seems to be original ZoomIt behavior too. Have you tested with original ZoomIt too? https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-pt/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit |
