You can use Command-Shift-4 to just grab the current window, but as you mention, you need to click in the window with a physical mouse click to activate the capture. This is most easily done if you first set your cursor tracking options to check "Mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor" under the VoiceOver Utility's Navigation settings (VO-F8, press "N", and tab to the checkbox for "Mouse cursor follows VO cursor"; use VO-Space to check/uncheck and close window with Command-W). Then you can: >> 1. Highlight the window you need the screen shot of >> >> 2. Press Cmd+Shift+4 to start the process. >> >> 3. Press space to have the keyboard focussed on your window. >> >> 4. Click the mouse within the window. The usual problem is moving cursor focus to your selected window before clicking in step 4. You can try routing your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5 for step 1, but I always have better luck with this if I set the mouse cursor tracking option first. I distinguish between hardware clicks, which include clicking a laptop trackpad button, clicking a mouse button, and pressing the "5" key of a numeric keypad on a system which runs Leopard with NumPad Commander turned on, and software clicks like VO-Shift-Space. Hardware clicks always work in situations of transitional accessibility. This include early stages of iTunes and Automator, and situations like clicking on Web page links to find the save menu options before the context menu fix was made in Safari's WebKit. A software click (VO-Shift-Space) will not work in step 4. The window screen shot will appear as a new file on your Desktop with name like Picture 1, Picture 2, etc. Default image type is .png. I think you can change this by opening a Terminal window and issuing a command like: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf where the final argument is the kind of image you want (e.g., pdf, jpeg, tiff, etc.) >> HTH Cheers, Esther > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
