I would prefer that the Cmd+ Shift+ 4 behavior would remain always saving to a file as a separate preference from Cmd+ Shift+ 5. I commonly use Cmd+ Shift+ 5 to capture to the clipboard. The first thing you can do is simply press the Prt Sc key (that is, Print Screen) on your keyboard to capture your entire screen with. I understand I can toggle these back and forth thru Cmd+ Shift+ 5 and Save to options but it's an extra step. Adding Ctrl to the sequence ignores the preference and just dumps to the clipboard as before (good). Since I started using Cmd+ Shift+ 5, sometimes (a newer version of screenshot that has some nice pop-up options and features), the preference I set in there now seems to govern where my screenshots end up for Cmd+ Shift+ 4 as well?įor example, if I hit Cmd+ Shift+ 5 and under Options select Preview in the Save to section, that becomes the new default for Cmd+ Shift+ 4 also. The only requirement of the user to toggle between 1) saving a file of the screenshot and 2) putting the image only in the Clipboard was inclusion or exclusion of the Ctrl in the sequence.
The distinction between these two options was helpful when one wanted to capture as a file for perusing later vs. For a long time, Cmd+ Shift+ 4 would enable a custom screenshot (drag cursor) that would dump a file to the Desktop in addition to putting the image in the Clipboard.Ĭmd+ Shift+ Ctrl+ 4 would dump only to the clipboard but not to a file.
