At my school we use OneNote all the time (projecting onto the board) to do class notes, with the students either taking them down during the lesson or just sitting back and watching and getting them off the school site later. One of the great features in OneNote has always been the Windows+S hotkey that allows you to capture part of the screen and paste it into your notes. This allows us to paste in captures from texts, websites and other software and annotate it. For example, if you're teaching trig on the unit circle the you can run software to demo it and capture and paste into the notes. Or if a student's having problems with the homework you can capture from the textbook (most come as a PDF these days), paste into OneNote and then demo the solution.
The problem is that in Windows 8 the Windows+S hotkey combo is a system command used to provide a shortcut to the Windows search command. So far this is only impacting me because I'm trialling Windows 8 while everyone else is still on Windows 7.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? Can you disable the Windows+S system command so that it can continue to be a OneNote hotkey? Or something else? Anyone got a clever idea? I *really* don't want to lose the Windows+S capture!
