HowTo: Make Screenshots on Mac OS

Alright, shortly a small overview on how to make Screenshots on Mac OS (because I tend to forget it myself...).

• Shift + cmd + 3: Screenshot of whole screen (Mac OS pastes the Screenshot on your desktop)
• Shift + ctrl + cmd + 3: Screenshot of whole screen + the Screenshot is "saved to" the clipboard
• Shift + cmd + 4: get crosslines to select an area for a Screenshot (Screenshot will be on your desktop)
• Shift + cmd + 4 followed by [Space]: take a Screenshot of a whole window (Screenshot will be on your desktop)

Don't forget to warm up your fingers before taking Screenshots...

PS: You can change the default Screenshot format as follows:

1. Open Terminal
2. Type in "defaults write com.apple.screencapture type
3. Example: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
