Windows and Print Screen

[Paul Kirley]

There have been some posts where it was asserted that pushing the Print
Screen key fails in Windows.  

This is not quite correct:  pushing the Print Screen key in Windows
puts a copy of the current screen onto the Clipboard, which can then be
pasted into any picture-editing software, like the Windows accessory
Paint.  

From there it can be edited and saved in your choice of format (like
.jpg), or it can be printed.

If, as is common, a picture of only the currently active window is
desired, Alt-Print Screen puts only that portion of the screen onto the
Clipboard.

I believe that the above is true for all versions of Windows.


73, Paul W8TM

You are correct.
It's the same for Linux as well.

Found the option in HRD that was mentioned on the thread to save the settings, you can save /Edit/update. I don't know if it's everything.  I'm still writing something. If nothing else it's an excuse to write something useful to learn.
