- rimantas 16y agoOr you can use cmd+shift+4 instead of cmd+shift+3. This allows you to select a region on the screen or you can press spacebar, mouse over the window you want to copy and press enter.
- NathanKP 16y agoI don't think there is a keyboard shortcut for a timed screen grab, however, which is what I use most often.
- andrewtj 16y agoAs far as I know you're right. Depending on what you're doing, Automator or the command line screencapture tool combined with a shell script or QuickSilver might be worth looking at to speed up your workflow.
- vault_ 16y agoYou can also hit 'space' after cmd+shift+4 to get a little camera icon that takes a screenshot of only the window you click on. It works for any window, the desktop, the menu bar, any menu, and interestingly enough: all of the icons sitting on your desktop independent of anything else.
- ams6110 16y agoGrab has been around since NEXTSTEP. Was it really not in pre-10.4 OSX?
- duskwuff 16y agoI'm pretty certain that it's been included, in pretty much the same form, since 10.0.
