Lightshot's feature set is small, but each piece covers one concrete step — from selecting an area to sending off a finished image.
The shortcut brings up a selection crosshair — the area can be moved and resized before the mouse button is released.
Lines, arrows, rectangles, text, and a pencil tool — the toolbar appears the moment an area is selected, no separate window needed.
A dedicated button sends the selected fragment to a visual search — handy for finding the source of an image or a similar product.
Copy to the clipboard, save a file to disk, or upload to the prnt.sc server and get a short link to pass along.
A finished image can be sent straight to a printer without opening a separate image viewer.
The launch key can be changed in settings if the default shortcut clashes with another app.
Worth knowing up front, so you're not hunting through settings for a function that isn't there.
