Moderated Taking, Saving, And Sending A Screen Shot
Thanks for checking this out and confirming that "it's not just me." I just hopped on a Windows 10 machine, and as far as enter or spacebar not being able to trigger the taking of the snapshot for full screen or windowed snaps, it's the same.
It's off to the Feedback Hub to put in an issue on this, as it should be a simple matter once a either full screen or windowed snap style is chosen, to trigger the actual taking sans mouse. For the two that require either mouse drag or point-to-point enclosure using the mouse to create the shape, that's a different story.

That’s fascinating because snipping works like a treat for me but I have issues with the Printscreen function.

Brian, I have just tried it out, and none of the options seems to perform the action by hitting either enter or space bar. I had to root the PC cursor to the Jaws cursor and then simulate the left click of the mouse. However, this worked only to capture the window option or the full screen option. I’m using Windows 11 and Jaws 2023.
I don’t like that when you push windows key plus shift plus s, Jaws doesn’t verbalize a thing, but anyways, it’s a just another option if one’s machine lacks of a print screen key.
Best,
Leo Bado

For those running Windows 11, could you please try the instructions Zel Iscel gave in message #103639,
to see if they work for you? I've hit a small snag with them in that after I tab to choose my snip type, hitting Enter does not cause the actual screenshot to be taken and placed on the clipboard. I must left click, and I mean literally left click, anywhere
to make the Snipping Tool actually take the snapshot and place it on the clipboard. It does not work with either Enter or Spacebar, either. I have not tried emulated left click, as I wanted to determine whether this issue is idiosyncratic to my machine or
is a change in how Snipping Tool is behaving between Windows 10, which is Zel's ecosystem, and Windows 11.

Hi Dale, Where can I find this tutorial, and how much is it?

Why not avoid all this and simply use the key combination Windows-Key+PrtScreen-Key and use the .PNG file created in the Pictures Folder?

I have no idea why one person chooses one option over another, but the option you refer to is covered in my tutorial.
But when people ask about option X, when options Y and Z have been presented (and I presume, digested), I choose to focus on answering the question about option X.

has now been updated to include Zel Iscel's technique as a 4th one. Take your pick from among the methods to suit yourself. Methods 2 and 3 are the least complicated as far as the taking goes, but what you get for filenames is far from tidy. That's the main reason I don't use those myself, as when I save screenshots I like to give a meaningful name as part of the process. But if you just need a screenshot to send someone, and it's not being kept, then that's really not a consideration.

Hi, Bryan. Many filenames are arbitrary and meaningless, when they are saved, but even with screenshots, you can always rename the file to something meaningful, after the file has been saved, so this is not an obstacle, or even a drawback for me.
