Did you know you can assign a unique hotkey to each profile in Snagit on Windows? This allows you to select a specific profile and start a capture without having to ever open Snagit. This is useful if you frequently switch between profiles, such as the Image and Video profiles.

To customize the hotkey for a profile, right-click on a profile and select Set Hotkey.

Consider customizing the hotkeys when:

• You want easier to remember hotkeys.
• The default hotkey conflicts with another program’s hotkeys.
• You are using a profile to capture an item that loses focus when you click away from it.

You can also customize the global capture hotkey. Select Snagit > Tools > Program Preferences > Hotkeys.
