Does ScreenJot support multiple monitors?


Absolutely!

ScreenJot is designed to capture from the screen that currently contains the mouse pointer. So to capture content on another monitor simply move the mouse cursor to that screen and hit the appropriate hot key. Alternatively you can move the ScreenJot window to the screen that you want to capture from and click on one of the capture icons.

Note: ScreenJot will capture from the monitor that the mouse pointer is on when the click occurs.
