Best background tool for screenshots
Can experts here suggest a very simple and convenient tool for taking shots of screen (like snipping tool) which continuously runs in the background? Please recommend only if you have personally used them

"Or do you just want something that can be loaded once, and then when you want a new screen capture you press a hotkey that initiates a capture?"
Yes, I actually need this. Something like press ctrl+<some key>+select the region using the mouse.

I use this [Screen Captor] all the time. Brilliant imo.
I use Greenshot every day. (It's Free)
I keep it running in the background as it does not hog resources.
Here is the Hotkey Preferences Screen

Hi,
Since windows 7, there is a built in capture tool available.
Just type "capture" in your start menu search bar.

you could use the Windows snipping tool, and make a hotkey to start it up
Do you need a continuous capture or still type capture?
The builtin print screen could be enough, not clear what your needs are.
Print screen
Alt+print screen captures the active window, that can the be edited....
