Change Modifer for OneNote

Since Win + Shift + S by default is for OneNote's Screen Clipping adding, starting with Windows 10 1703 this will no longer work. To get around this, you must modify the registry to a new key, in this case, A.

  • Open RedEdit
  • Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OneNote\Options\Other, create a new DWORD entry called “ScreenClippingShortcutKey” and set the value to "0x41".

0x41 corresponds to A in the ASCII table. Using that knowledge, you can make the key just about anything you want, but it will always be prefixed with Win + Shift.
