1. To capture the entire desktop screen, press Command + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3)

2. To copy the entire desktop screen, press Command + Control + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Ctrl + Shift + 3). The entire screen shot will be sent to your clipboard.

3. To capture a portion of the desktop screen, press Command +Shift + 4 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4). A cross-hair cursor will appear and now you can click and drag to capture the selected area . Once you release the mouse button, the selected screen shot will be saved as a picture file on your desktop.

4. To capture a specific application window, press Command + Shift + 4 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4), the mouse cursor will change to symbol + . Now press the Spacebar. The cursor will change to a camera, and you can move it around the screen.
