How to take screenshots in Mac OS X
I’m using my MacBook as my primary computer now after hooking it up to my 26″ widescreen monitor with external keyboard and mouse. One of the “issues” I came across is taking screenshots on my MacBook. After some digging I found this article explaining the various keyboard shortcuts used in Mac OS X.
Command+Shift+3 to capture the entire screen.
Command+Shift+4 to capture a portion of the screen. If you want to capture a specific application window, press the spacebar to change the cursor to a camera icon, then click on the desired application window.
