I hadn’t monitored Notepad++ in a very long time, so I was glad that User Thomas Owens mentioned that it can show you the CR and LF codes:
With Notepad++, you can show end-of-line characters. It shows CR and LF, instead of “\r” and “\n”, but it gets the point across. […]
To use Notepad++ for this,
open the View menu, open the Show Symbols slide out, and
select either “Show all characters” or “Show end-of-line characters”.
I needed this because many development environments get confused when you have text files using a mix of line-break kinds (in my case LF, CR and CRLF).
NameChanger cool visual tool to do pattern based mass-renames on your Mac.

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”)
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.
