I loves keyboard shortcuts; it must come with the whole “knowing how to touch-type properly.” What I don”t like is having to remember all of them so I resort to scribbling things like “Cmd+Shift+3=screen capture” on sticky notes and affixing them to every conceivable surface. Not a cool way to go about your day, even for someone who loves having any excuse to break out her fountain pens.
Enter the xCuts Dashboard Widget in all its widget-y goodness. For instance, that “screen capture” shortcut I mentioned before? I looked it up on xCuts. It even gave me the Windows equivalent of “Alt+Print Screen” because it is awesome like that.
Thank you, LifeHacker, for bumping my Geekiness Quota up by several points today.
i don't think u need to press alt + pintscreen on windows... i think print screen alone will do. no?
I think Print Screen will work like Cmd+Shift+3 and alt+Print Screen works like Cmd+Shift+4 followed by space bar. Both capture the front window.
That's a nice tip, Kate. And it's nice to see you've joined MacUser. However, please please please don't resort to the cliched blogger-ism "goodness."
