How to take a screenshot on a Mac:

A screenshot is a photo of what is currently displayed on your computer’s screen.

1. Full Screenshot on Mac:

Press the ‘Command’, ‘Shift’, and ‘3’ keys simultaneously to capture the entire screen.
You will notice a screen flash or change before returning to normal.
The screenshot is typically saved to your Mac desktop.

2. Part of the Screen or a Specific Window:

Press the ‘Command’, ‘Shift’, and ‘5’ keys simultaneously to open the screen-capture window.
The cursor will change to a crosshair pointer.
Move the crosshair to the desired capture area.
Click and drag to select the area. Adjust by holding ‘Shift’, ‘Option’, or the ‘Space bar’ while dragging.
Release the mouse or trackpad when the area is selected.
You will see a screen flash or change before returning to normal.
The screenshot is usually saved to the Mac desktop.

3. Screen Recording on Mac:

Press the ‘Command’, ‘Shift’, and ‘5’ keys simultaneously to open the screen-capture window.
Look for screen recording options next to screen capture options. Options include ‘Record the entire screen’ or ‘Record a portion of the screen,’ indicated by an icon in the bottom right corner resembling a dot with a thin circle.
Choose the screen recording option you need and click ‘Record.’
Stop recording by clicking the ‘Stop recording’ button in the menu.
The recording is typically saved to the Mac desktop.

How to take a screenshot on Windows using a Mac keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Screenshot of the Entire Screen:

Press and hold the fn, Shift, and F11 buttons simultaneously.

2. Screenshot of the Active Window:

Press and hold the Option, fn, Shift, and F11 buttons simultaneously.

These keyboard shortcuts mimic the standard Windows shortcuts for taking screenshots but are adapted for use with a Mac keyboard on a Windows system. Adjusting the key combinations by incorporating the fn key helps align the functionality between the two systems.
