You just need to press the desired shortcut combination, open an image editing application, and then use the paste function via your keyboard or the application’s menu in order to confirm that your screenshot was taken as intended. Also note that there’s no audible or visual confirmation when you take a screenshot in Windows.

Instead, just as in Windows natively, the captured screen or window is copied to your Windows clipboard, where you can paste it into a new document via an image editing application like Microsoft Paint. Note that unlike OS X screenshots, these key combinations don’t place an image file somewhere on your computer. Capture the Entire Screen: Function + Shift + F11Ĭapture Only the Active Window: Function + Shift + Option + F11
