How do you take a screenshot that saves the screenshot to a specific spot that isn't the Desktop and ALSO stores the screenshot in the clipboard?
cmd+shift+3/4 doesn't store the screenshot in the clipboard. It just stores in on the Desktop. You can click the preview and it will move it into the clipboard as well as save it.
The other method, that puts the screenshot directly into the clipboard with ctrl+cmd+shit+3/4 but it doesn't save the screenshot.
What's the single keyboard shortcut command to take a screenshot and have it saved to your machine as well as have it stored in your clipboard?
I'll enjoy watching people down vote learning and knowledge sharing.
- bentheklutz 4y agoThe save location for cmd+shift+{3,4} can be configured through the command line. defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <path> There is apparently a settings menu inside the Screenshot app now that allows this as well, though I found the above solution before the settings in that app came about.
- tgv 4y agoFor those wondering: cmd-shift-5 is the shortcut the very configurable Screenshot app, which allows you to do things like save to folder, clipboard, or straight to mail and more.
