A shortcut key functionality - Windows

[Prateek64X]

Is there a shortcut key to capture when NormCap is open in system tray. It'd be very convinient.

Hi @Prateek64X,

this is currently not possible. But I really like the idea, so I create a feature request issue to track it.
Unfortunately, it is not trivial to implement, so I'm not sure when I have time to work on it. But I'm always open to contributions!

Right now, the two options to repeatedly perform captures are:

1. Configure your system to start NormCap via a Hotkey and deactivate NormCap's "Keep in system tray" setting. Then you can repeatedly capture text via that hotkey.

   • ➕ Keyboard driven
   • ➖ Slower, as startup time of NormCap adds up
   • ➖ It's not always clear, when NormCap is closed completely and ready for a second capture

2. Activate NormCap's "Keep in system tray" setting. Then you can repeatedly capture texts via right-click on the tray icon and selecting "Capture".

   • ➕ Faster, as NormCap is already loaded
   • ➖ Not accessible via keyboard
   • ➖ One right-click and one left-click needed
