Started by macgasm · 1 year ago

Applicable OSX Versions: Tiger and Leopard (That I know of!)

Because I’m a MAJOR keyboard junkie, I tend to find little nuggets of hidden OSX fun from time-to-time. This is just such an occasion. While looking at the Dashboard today to see what time it was in Macgasm-land (aka Ottawa) it occurred to me to try [...]

    Haha, you've got to love OS X. Every time I stumble across some new "feature" I beat it to death.

    Apple-Shift-4 gives you a crosshair that lets you select a certain area of the screen to capture, and Apple-Shift-4 then Space captures the active window. If you want to capture your desktop or a window directly to the clipboard, press Apple-Shift-Ctrl-3 to get the whole desktop, Apple-Shift-Ctrl-4 to get the crosshair, and Apple-Shift-Ctrl-4 then Space to get the active window.
