Cool screen cappy feature in Jaguar:

Posted:
in macOS edited January 2014
Immediately hit the spacebar after typing Command-Shift-4. Go on, do it! :0)



Instead of crosshairs, you?ll see a little camera. Move the camera around to highlight the Dock, the menu bar, the desktop, or any open window. Then just click the mouse button to 'snap' a screen shot.



With this option, you can entirely eliminate the desktop when you capture a screen shot of an individual window!



Now go take on the day!

    In OS 9 this feature was around too but instead of hitting space you would turn your caps on.

    I also posted it about 3 weeks ago



    btw you don't have to hit the space bar immediately.

    That was kind of the joke, but thanks for playing along.

    Building on Belle's post about the command-line screencapture utility.



    You can nab a screenshot while a DVD is playing with it, while the key-combination is disabled. You can also nab screenshots of the login window and such...



    screencapture &lt;filename&gt;



    For the login window, you have to do it remotely of course...and use a privileged user:

    sudo screencapture &lt;filename&gt;
