Apr 1, 2019 - If you're coming from a Windows PC to a Mac, you might be wondering how to take a screenshot without that Print Screen key on your keyboard. Aug 30, 2016 How do I do a PrintScreen in Win10 using an Apple keyboard All I see is how to use a Windows keyboard in Bootcamp or how to capture screens in OSX. None of this is useful. The closest I have come is an article with about 50 posts going 'Use this combination' 'No that doesn't work' 'This combination' 'Nope, neiher' 'This one works' 'No it doesn't'. I found easiest way to key PrtScr to F13-F19 button with this little tool called SharpKeys (). It writes registry changes for you. I use print screen quite a lot, so I do want to find it easily. And because there is no actual official use with F13-F19 button in Win, why do not map those to some useful funtions. You can easily change CMD and ALT button to match regular windows keyboard layout if you wanted also. Many want to do this also if use mac keyboard on windows. TIP: There is also great print screen program that can be useful called LightScreen (). It's free and there is also portable version available. ![]() I found this very useful, because it's let me to choose regions etc. I have an old bluetooth Model A1016 that looks just like the above keyboard sans cord and F13 invokes printscreen thru my RDP session on the Windows7 PC I'm controlling via my old Macbook Air 11 I just found this forum cause I needed to do this and I just happened to try F13 after something I read here inspired me to do so. Attached is the from the Mac's wireless keyboard (I emailed the Mac screen cap to the work PC). Greenshot's defaults are set to use the PC's print-screen key. I needed this because I do A LOT of screen caps for work and the 'snipping tool' sucks rocks. The PC belongs to my customer so I don't want to buy Snag-it for it. I was unaware of Greenshot until a few days ago invoked from the Mac's F13 thru RDP I downloaded Greenshot a couple days ago, so I've used it exactly 3 times so far and those 3 screen caps are uploaded here. After I installed Greenshot and went to do a screen cap I thought 'oh &%#@! Because I don't have a 'print-screen' key and that's what lead me here. But all those key combo's work for me because my F13 invokes the PC's 'Prt-scrn' key This And finally a couple of Mac full screen caps (emailed to PC again) showing the Mac's whole screen with the Greenshot cross hairs waiting for me to select a screen section on the PC as I finished writing this. This would have been way cooler if I could have easily recorded it in video.:-P Thanks to the peeps that were discussing the function keys! And if you really want the full cave computing experience, there's an option to go full screen, which will make your current PC truly look like it's running MacOS 7.0.1. Apple's System 7 interface hasn't aged as well as other relics from 1991, like Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Nirvana's Nevermind, but the ancient computing platform nevertheless retains a certain charm. By 2017-04-16 22:09:48 UTC About 25 years ago, released what was considered by some to be the most elegant personal computing interface available at the time, MacOS 7.0.1. Mac os 9 online emulator. The lets you launch the operating system and use many of the applications that were popular at the time, including games like Risk, Cannon Fodder, and Shufflepuck. Now, thanks to the Internet Archive, you can experience some of that old school computing magic using your existing computer and a web browser. Maybe this only works for me because my customer's laptop has a double 'insert/prt sc' right next to it's F12 directly above the it's delete key and that just happens to map to my F13. If Greenshot really is as configurable as that menu suggests then I would expect anyone to be able to map a hot-key combo that would suite them. I hope Greenshot isn't keysrtoke logging spyware;-) I hope this is helpful to someone. Re-reading your answer carefully, I think I see what I misunderstood. The issue still stands though: F13 worked because the client you were RDPing to has a PrtScn button, making this extensive part of your answer irrelevant and unnecessary noise. Your answer is well meaning, but writing more simply and clearly, focusing on the actual solution (Greenshot is what I think you believe is the solution) would make it easier to comprehend. Also, it's very unlikely Greenshot is a bad program. It's got a pretty good reputation. – Feb 5 '18 at 17:07.
