How to set up or change Hotkeys on ShareX Let’s first set up our hotkeys and then take a look at how you can capture your screen using the same. As Windows 11 now has dedicated kernel maps for the PrtSc key, we can’t use the same as our hotkey for ShareX.
To use ShareX to its full capabilities, you will need to set up hotkeys on your PC accordingly. You can now use the ShareX image editor to edit your screenshot. To do so, simply click on the original subfolder pattern and select the parameter you want to include in the pattern. You can also change the subfolder format if you wish. The default format of these subfolders is year-month. It should be noted that ShareX will further create subfolders in your destination folder. In the following prompt, click on Yes to restart your ShareX and finalize the new destination folder. Now, click on Apply to save the changes made. In the Choose ShareX personal folder path window, navigate to the new destination folder and click on the Select Folder option located in the lower right corner of your screen. In the Paths section, you can see the address where all your screenshots captured using ShareX are stored. In the Application settings, click on the Paths option.
