To take a screenshot on a Mac, follow these simple steps:

  • Press Command + Shift + 3: This will capture a screenshot of the entire screen.
  • Press Command + Shift + 4: This will change the cursor to a crosshair. Click and drag the crosshair to select the area you want to capture.
  • Press Command + Shift + 5: This will bring up the screenshot toolbar, which allows you to capture the entire screen, a selected window, or a selected portion of the screen. You can also choose where to save the screenshot.

You can also add a delay to the screenshot by pressing the Space bar after using Command + Shift + 5. This will give you a 10-second delay before capturing the screenshot.

It's worth noting that the screenshots will be saved as PNG files on your desktop by default. However, you can change this by going to the screenshot toolbar and selecting where you want to save the file.
