As I was doing some documentations on my new Mac, one of the few things that comes to mind is how do I do a print screen?

So heres the few possibilities:

1. Capture full screen

• Hold down Command + Shift + 3
• Release all
• Done! Your screenshot is saved to your desktop.

2. Capture a specific area of your screen

• Hold down Command + Shift + 4
• Release all keys
• Your mouse will turn into a crosshair, select the area you wanna capture
• Done! Your screenshot is saved to your desktop

3. Capture the current active window

• Hold down Command + Shift +4 (Yes its the same combo, no mistake)
• Your mouse will turn into a crosshair
• Press SPACEBAR once
• Your mouse will turn into a camera
• Mouse over the window you wanna capture, the window will appear to be hightlighted.
• Click on it and you are done.
• Your screenshot is saved to your desktop.

A bit different from Windows with the Alt+Printscreen combination with 3 keys involved instead of 2 keys. If your fingers are small, then have to get used to it.
