Taking Screenshot on multiple platforms (via Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/11/28
Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:
- Apple Mac OS X
(*) Use “⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+3” for the screen or “⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+4” for a part of the screen (as of Mac OS X Tiger, you can press the “Spacebar” to capture a Window in stead of part of the screen). You can press “Ctrl” with these shortcuts to the shot goes to the clipboard, otherwise it gets saved as a PNG file. - Microsoft Windows
(*) Use “Prt Sc” for the screen or “Alt+Prt Sc” for the Window
(note that on my laptop and multi-media keyboards, you need to type the “Fn” key in order to press the “Prt Sc”) - Microsoft Windows Phone
Press the “Sleep/Wake” button and the Startbutton at the same time. - Apple iOS
(*) Press the “Home” and “Lock” button at the same time. - Google Android
Hold the “Volume down” button, then press the “Sleep/Wake” button.
(*) Or press the “Sleep/Wake” and the “Home” button at the same time. - HP WebOS
Press the “Orange/Gray Key+Sym+P” at the same time.
Or press “Home Key+Power” at the same time. - X Window System
Varies with the installed tooling - Maemo 5
Press “Ctrl+⇧ Shift+P” at the same time. - Google Chrome OS
Press “Ctrl+F5” to capture the screen or press “Ctrl+⇧ Shift+F5” to capture a portion of the screen.
