Screen capture (incl capture scrolling region) softwares similar to SnagIT
Is there a freeware screen capture that is very similar to SnagIT
that could
1. capture a scrolling region
2. turn on/off the cursor when capturing screen
3. change the pixel density (ppi) when saving the file (as sometimes I want a smaller file)
4. when editing image, can rotate at a specified angle (sometimes screen captured is slanted)
5. could adjust the shades (darker or lighter) of a font as well as the background (that I'm
erasing so that a section of the background erased has the same shade as the sections
around it)
6. supports various font types & allows a range of the font size of the text added into image
7. adjust dimness/brightness & sharpness of the image (MS Photo editor in Win XP does this).
Windows snipping tool lacks the above & MSPaint can't select a section of the screen.
SnagIT used to release a 'free' licence key for an old version but I'll need it for Win 10.
Something that costs less than USD10 is fine as well.

Also, can share the URL/link which shows how to capture a scrolling region?
I play around myself but lacks the dexterity to get it right

Another question:
can we define a hotkey combination to start capturing & stop capturing
(like what SnagIT has)?

It has a portable version which I needed as don't have admin rights to install.
But did you find the following features (which I often need when using SnagIT):
a) eraser (color/tone of eraser can be chosen): MSPaint has this
b) ability to undo (sometimes I have to undo many times & redraw my signature till I'm contented)
c) can the size of the arrow-head (of the arrowed-line) be adjusted? It's rather big
