Feature Description

Why is this so difficult?

ShareX and GreenShot have simple keybinding to launch Region or Full Screen capture in Windows. Why is this so difficult for Flameshot?

What is the procedure to bind the Region screenshot in Flameshot to a key combo?

Same problem, can't find a way to change key bind for screen capture and my keyboard doesn't even have print screen button, haven't used that button for the past 5 years prob. Why can't i change it to some key combo, why lock it, weird decision.

Don't expect a reply or a fix. The developers are Linux\FOSS and they do not put any effort into fixing Flameshot for Windows.

On Linux I have 2 shortcuts:
calls: flameshot gui
<Ctrl+Print> calls: flameshot screen -p /home/mb/Pictures/screenshots/
Can't you make separate shortcuts calling different commands on Windows?

The ability to make a window screenshot instead of the whole screen is a different issue like #799, this is still missing.

From what i read flameshot cli doesn't work on windows.

Instead i downloaded Miscrosoft PowerToys and remaped my win + shift + s keys to print screen. So it works great now, would be nicer if i could do this in flameshot settings, but this will work perfectly fine too.

Cannot install Microsoft PowerToys. Violates security policy.

Windows users are ignored when it comes to Flameshot.
