Keyboard: print scrn

[stratego]

How do I configure the print screen button on the keyboard so that I can capture the still image?

It depends on what OS you are using.

But in general, just pressit! That copies the screen to the clipboard. OPen an image editing program (eg 'paint'), and then just paste the image in from the clipboard (standard windows 'paste' or 'ctrl-v').

I think you can use Prnt Scr together with Ctrl or Alt, not sure though, to only capture the active window on the screen if you'd want that.

side note, you cannot capture alive ( overlay ) image with print screen.

That would be Alt. Very useful when you want to grab just the active part of the screen.

Thanks Turner - damned handy little tip. Any other PrntScrn combinations?

There might be, that's the only one I know tho.
