Mac OSX: Change the keyboard shortcuts for screen capture

I frequently want a screen capture to ad to blogs and documents and dont want tp have to hold down 3 keys to get it. To change your iMac keyboard shortcuts:

  • System Preferences
  • Keyboard
  • Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Screen Shots
  • Click on shortcut to change.
  • Tap the tab key twice so that the shortcut sequence is editable
  • Tap the shortcut key you want (I choose F15 which is in a similar position to the PrtScr button an a Windows Machine)
  • Try it out !!!


I reassign the following:
  • Save picture of the selected are as a file
  • Save picture of selected area to the clipboard
