1. Cmd-shift-4, which will let you drag a region of the screen to capture (just like SnagIt), but then:
2. Space bar, which will switch to a window selection mode. Move your mouse to highlight the window you want to capture, then click.
Thanks sawinlogz! I didn't know about the Space Bar .. I'll experiment with that some more... just now a quick test using the forum screen was inconclusive.
I did know about Cmd-shift-4, but it saves the screenshot to the Clipboard, and I've had trouble figuring out how to find those screenshots unless I go to them right away when I see the pop up box after I make them ... Oh I just found it ... it saves those at least in my case to DropBox in a Clipboard Folder, and I have to use Finder and search for the Clipboard Folder in Dropbox to find them.
There is also Cmd-shift-3 but I think that saves the whole screen too, I just tried Cmd-shift-3 with this screen viewing our message and the file came out to 1.5 MB, whereas the Cmd-shift-4 while viewing this message produced a 76 KB screenshot of this message (nothing else visible on the screen). I'll experiment with doing it with OSCAR later.
I just finally got my AirCurve 10 VAuto today, so I'll be making the screenshots somehow of OSCAR soon of those sessions.

biyahero - While I don't use a Mac, you sparked my curiosity. I found two Apple sites that seem to be helpful.
Keyboard shortcuts:

Screenshot options for your Mac:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361
I hope one or both may help.

Thanks Crimson Nape!
I knew about some of those but not all.
I use Command C, Command V, Command X, Command A and some others every day, but there are a lot of other useful ones there I didn't know about.
Particularly regarding screenshots I didn't know some new features that came with Mojave (the latest version of OS/X) the Mac operating system
such as:
Quote:Capture a selected portion of the screen
In macOS Mojave:
- Press Shift-Command-5 to see the onscreen capture controls.
- Click Capture Selected Portion in the onscreen control
and
Quote:
- Screenshot controls in macOS Mojave are provided by the Screenshot app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. This app replaces the Grab app from earlier versions of macOS
What isn't clear from the Apple documentation is whether you can scroll vertically to include more of a window in the screenshot than appears on the screen as you can with SnagIt ... but definitely these new things I didn't know about are welcome and worthy of experimentation which I will do.
Always helpful to know more than one way to do things! Thanks!
