How can I take a screenshot on a Mac?

If you think you miss your PrtScr button on your Mac you are in for a surprise.
I had to pay about $50 for a software called SnagIt on my PC.
On the Mac majority of the features SnagIt has to offer come standard:
- Save to Desktop
- ⌘+Shift+3: Entire screen
- ⌘+Shift+4: Select area with the mouse, or press <Space> to auto-select a window
- Save in the Clipboard
- Control+⌘+Shift+3: Entire screen
- Control+⌘+Shift+4: Select area (same as above)
That’s it! Simple, right?
Command-Shift-3
puts file on desktop
Or even better, command-shift-4 gives you little cross hairs to select the desired area of screen.
Thanks, Ben! I was still writing the post
