TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The free version of SnagIt is called Jing and it has many of the same features (including the cross-hairs).

Subject: Open Source "SnagIt" needed
I can display the contents of an open file, located on a non-Windows device
connected to a USB port via MTP, on my Windows PC. However, while I can
wipe to select the displayed contents, I cannot copy them to the Windows
Clipboard.
I'm looking for a free utility that can read these displayed contents and
has a provision to copy them (CTRL +C is fine) to the Clipboard.
TechSmith's SnagIt can do this hands-down, but I need something more
narrowly-focused that is also free. Any suggestions?
