How do I take a screenshot on a Mac? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

  • Command ⌘-Shift ⇧-3 will save a screenshot of the whole screen to your desktop. Command ⌘-Control ⌃-Shift ⇧-3 copies it to your clipboard.
  • --4 lets you drag to take a shot of a portion of the screen, or press Space to select a specific window. Add Control ⌃ to the mix to copy to to the clipboard.

You can view and change these in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab: enter image description here
