Comments on: Using PrintScreen in Boot Camp: MacBook Pro http://www.logicnest.com/archives/78 The personal weblog of Ian Luke Kane. Thoughts on mathematics, logic, and life. The beauty therein and the strangeness of it all.

In OS X we are used to have a file created on the desktop from the screen capture. In Windows you have to make it your self (afaik) which means it is in the clipboard only. So in order to do that you must open lets say Paint and paste the printscreen in a new window then save as file. Maybe this helps those who couldn't figure what was going on. The app works for me but how about screenshots within games ? Nothing seems to respond once in full screen. And I can't use F1-F12 keys they are assigned already.

I've been trying for days to find a solution without having to use the onscreen keyboard - which isn't much use when you're trying to get screen shots of menu items. Fn+Shift+F11 works for me! although only the left shift key...go figure. Thanks.

Altough I have used the onscreen applete it did not occur to me before I landed on your site. And the keyboard shortcuts mention was very helpful too. Note: If you have checked "Use the F1/F12 key..." in BootCamp then of course the Fn key should not be used when using the keyboard shortcuts. Thanks!

Alt + Option F11 works too as mentioned by "usman" (thanks). Just to add, so that people know, the MacBook Pro does not have an actual F13 key.
