Using maikap
maikap keeps its feature set as small as it can. Everything lives in one toolbar.
Toolbar

| Delay | Wait before the snip: No delay, 3, 5 or 10 seconds, to open a menu or hover first |
| Pen | Draw solid strokes |
| Highlighter | Draw wide see-through strokes (3× the pen width, at least 14 px) |
| Eyedropper | Click the picture to read a colour code |
| Colours | 5 colours: red, orange, yellow, blue, black |
| Size | Stroke width, 1–30 px |

The clipboard always holds the latest picture
Section titled “The clipboard always holds the latest picture”Every snip, stroke, undo and redo copies the edited picture to the clipboard for you, so you can switch away and paste at any time without pressing Copy.
Eyedropper
Section titled “Eyedropper”Pick the eyedropper and click the picture. The hex code appears in the status bar with a swatch; press the copy button next to it to copy the code.
Multiple monitors
Section titled “Multiple monitors”While selecting, maikap covers every monitor at once. Drag on any of them; one picture stays within one monitor.
