I've been using some software for a while that uses Win+S and I've gotten used to it. I've just recently started using OneNote 2010 and I find that it's hijacked the Win+S hotkey for doing screen clippings. Cool feature, but I'd rather reprogram OneNote to use a different letter. Otherwise I have to reprogram my brain.

I realize I can disable the OneNote system tray icon thing and that'll probably fix the problem, but I'd rather keep the other OneNote hotkeys (Win+N and Win+Shift+N), and wouldn't mind using the screen clipping with Win+C or something.

Digging through the options I didn't see any way to change this. Hopefully I'm missing something - otherwise, it's kinda arrogant of a software program to hijack a hotkey like that with no option of configuring it.

For OneNote 2007, see Changing the OneNote Screen Clipping and New Side Note keyboard shortcuts. I believe this article will answer your question.

In short, look at this registry key:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options\Other

There are two DWORD values ScreenClippingShortcutKey & NewNoteShortcutKey. The default values are:

  • ScreenClippingShortcutKey: 0x53
  • NewNoteShortcutKey: 0x4e

If we look in this ASCII table:

In row 5, column 3 (0x53), we see the S. So, this is where the S of the hotkey is set.

Change it to another value according to the ASCII table to adjust the hotkey.

I have found one better solution, it is for Office 2010.

Open "OneNote"--> File --> Options --> Customize Ribbon

Now, in there, you will find "Screen Clipping" under "Popular Commands". In the "Main Tabs" select "Home" , right click and make new group under it. Rename it.

And then click "Add" and Finally "OK". This is for adding Screen Clipping.

To remove or disable it , search screen clipping under existing group and remove it.

This is my first solution on internet after using lots of free solution over internet for my many problems.

The OneNote icon must be active in the notification area, at the far right of the Windows task bar (bottom right of screen by the clock). I just went to OneNote → Tools → Customize, found the Screen Clipping icon and dragged it to the Windows task bar by the clock.
