How can I take a screenshot on a Mac?

2 Comments »

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?
