just found a new mind blower - 30yr+Apple user and i’ve been using Shift/CMD/4 for screengrabs for decades…until a day ago when i realised Shift/CMD/5 gives you a repeatable user defined grab location.
Holy Cow, Batman! Thats gonna make some jobs so much easier!
Also, if you hold space bar, after S/C/4, you can take a picture of a single window.
Another Mac command you might find useful: CNTRL-Eject. This will bring up the Sleep/Shut Down/Restart window - if you then press R, it will restart the computer, S for sleep, Return will Shutdown and ESC will cancel and close the window.
One of my faves is open a mov in QuickTime, stop anywhere and command-c, open preview and command-n gives you that frame which can be saved out as whatever image format.
I think its a secret moderator piece of necromancy that extracts a post and gives it new life under a different heading. Dark and mysterious deeds probably involving farmyard poultry and strange chants!
This will do a marque screen shot directly to the clipboard instead of a file. Useful to insert it into email or slack without the clutter on your desktop.
Top fave for screenshots is cmd-shift-4, but then after you start drawing the box hold space and it will let you move the corner you clicked from so you can align it properly
On Mac I like the shortcut Cmd + Alt + C on a folder.
This wil copy the location of that folder as text.
Now you can paste it anywhere.
Might come in handy when you want to send the location of a file or path
in an email of chat or something.
