hi, just read through your posts about macs, since i’m a mac user too. for the screenshot shorcuts, there’s actually one more which is cmd + shift + 4 and press space bar after hitting the combo key. you’ll see a camera, and with this, you can take screenshot of the selected window. you don’t have to select from top right to lower left anymore. just give it a try….
