Grabbing Screenshots in Mac OS X

Posted on September 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

Until today my favoured mechanism for grabbing a screenshot in Mac OS X was to navigate to the Applications->Utilities folder and fire up the ‘Grab’ utility, very nifty it is too. However when reporting a problem with facebook tonight, I noticed a help page they host which has an alternative and quicker mechanism of doing this:

In Mac OS X

  1. Simultaneously hold down the ⌘-Shift-4 keys.
  2. Press the spacebar.
  3. Click the open window that you wish to take a screen shot of. The screen shot should appear as a file on the desktop labeled “Picture 1.”
    Please note that in Mac OS X 10.6, the file is “Screen shot [date] at [time].”
