With no applications selected, it ALT-PrintScreen. This puts a copy
of the entire screen on the clipboard.

If, instead, you want just a particular application, select it first,
then to the ALT-PrintScreen.

Printscreen puts a copy of the screen into the clipboard,
alt-printscreen puts a copy of the currently selected window into the
clipboard.


It works exactly as I said, thought I see I typed "it" when I meant "hit." I
tried it before I replied.

What you've does the same thing, but doesn't require clicking the desk top (to
deleselect all applications) first. I suppose de-selecting all applications
makes the desktop the currently selected window.
