Since the other answer covers only the Windows PC operating system, here are a few more methods for other PC operating systems.

Mac OS X

• Just press ⌘ Command+⇧ Shift+3 to take a full screenshot.

• For an arbitrary selection press ⌘+⇧+4 and then use the mouse to select what you want to capture.

• To capture a window use the same combo as before, then press ␣ Space and then click on the window you want to capture. You may also do this to capture menus as well.

• You can also use Preview or Grab to get screenshots, as well as windows, selections and timed screenshots.

• ⌘+⇧+3 and ⌘+⇧+4 also work in the classic Mac OS going as far back as at least System 6.

• All Mac screenshot functions play a camera shutter sound to inform the user that a screenshot has been taken (at least as far back as System 7).

Grab is one way to get screenshots and window captures:

The File menu in Preview also has a screenshot facility in the Grab submenu.

Linux

This varies greatly by the flavor you install. Often there may be a utility simply called "Screenshot".

Ubuntu

• Press Print Screen will invoke the Screenshot utility and take a full screenshot.

• Pressing ⎇ Alt+Print Screen will take a screenshot of the current window.
