Screen Capture a Window
Advertisements
We all know that by using Shift Command 3 we can take the capture the whole screen and using Shift Command 4 we can select the region to be screen captured.
Capturing Screen Window
There is a hidden trick behind screen capture, if you're pressing Shift Command 4+Spacebar, you will be able to capture a window hovered by your mouse along with the shadow.
You can also capture your menu bar, Dock and even additional menu extras of your Mac. I think you should try it. It's fun.
Disabling Shadow
If you don't like the shadow being captured, you can Disable shadow in screen window captures [MacOSXHints.com] with a simple command line.
Here is the command line defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer to prevent the shadow being screen captured.
And to restore back to original setting, you can use defaults delete com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow && killall SystemUIServer.
Have fun capturing your screen!

Add Option to Cmd-Shift-3/4 to put the image in the clipboard instead of as a file on your desktop!

Should be Control! Sorry.

Thanks. I did not in fact know about this, and had to launch Grab. Speaking of which, the Grab capability from [Safari -> Services -> Grab], which was greyed out before now is operable. Was this from a recent upgrade, or did using this key-combo do something? I get the same shutter sound with KBE's key combination, but nothing ends up in the clipboard. Is there a way to set the destination? my tests are probably marooned somewhere on my HD right now.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.baJIeakZIK2kXfy7
