How To Use Cropper
From the documentation, it states that you have three options to trigger to start capture, but when I tested this app, the only method that worked was double click.
  • Arrow keys: Nudge the main form one pixel.
  • Alt+Arrow keys: Resize the main form one pixel.
  • Alt+[ or ]: Resize the thumbnail indicator one pixel.
  • +Ctrl: Changes the amount of resizes and nudges listed above to ten pixels.
  • [ or ] or Mouse Wheel: Resize the main form twenty pixels while keeping the crosshairs centered.
  • Right-Click: Context menu on the main form.
  • Double-Click or Enter or S: Take a screen shot of the area under the Cropper window or start/stop a recording plug-in.
  • Tab: Cycle form colors.
  • Shift+Tab: Cycle form sizes.
  • Esc: Hide the main form.
  • F8: Show the main form.
