Simply press Shift / Command / 5 (⇧⌘5), and a new panel shows up offering you control of the screenshot process.

Screenshot Commands

  • Whole screen capture – Shift / Command / 3 (⇧⌘3).
  • Single-window capture or – Shift / Command / 4( then press the Spacebar (⇧⌘4 then Spacebar).
  • Capture a selection – Shift / Command / 4 then click and drag the crosshair cursor (⇧⌘4 then click and drag)

Finally, a really useful feature which resembles that of iOS: your freshly captured screenshot displays as a floating thumbnail in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Double-click the thumbnail and you can easily move the screenshot to another location – even the Trash if you’ve changed your mind. You can also utilise Markup tools to edit your screenshot. Cool, huh?
