To screenshot on a MacBook, you can use these keyboard shortcuts:
- Press Shift + Command (⌘) + 3 to capture the entire screen. The screenshot will be saved on your desktop.
- Press Shift + Command (⌘) + 4 to capture a selected portion of the screen. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair that you can drag to select the area.
- Press Shift + Command (⌘) + 4, then press the Spacebar to take a screenshot of a specific window. The cursor changes to a camera icon for you to click on the window.
- Press Shift + Command (⌘) + 5 to open the Screenshot app on Mac, which offers options to capture the entire screen, a window, or a portion, as well as screen recording.
These shortcuts work on MacBooks running recent MacOS versions, and the screenshots are typically saved to the desktop by default, with a small thumbnail preview appearing briefly in the corner of the screen for quick editing options.
