Windows has an inbuilt hotkey (Win + Shift + S) which executes snipping tool in rectangular strip mode, any screen captured will be copied to the clipboard as an image.
I am currently working on finding the most efficient way, in which we can pair the inbuilt shortcut key, with some script that automatically executes once a snip has been taken, and saves the snip automatically to a specific location.
I have already tried using Keyboard, pyautogui etc modules in Python for getting/creating keyboard events. The problem is that these modules are really slow and not consistent especially on slow hardware.
I am looking forward to a solution that makes use of windows inbuilt shortcut, and works over it.
Thanks in Advance.

Any solution to this? – A__ – 2019-08-01T14:39:12.490
1@A__ Sadly No. But a good news is that now (on latest windows 10 build) once you take a screenshot via
Win+Shift+S, you get a option of saving/customizing it as soon as it is taken. But that doesn't actually solve the problem in of *Grabbing windows inbuilt shortcut and working over it*. I achieved little success via usingautohotkey, as it overrides the inbuilt shortcut but it also has its own share of problems. – Vasu Deo.S – 2019-08-01T16:43:27.727
