A screenshot shortcut key is a combination of keys on your keyboard that allows you to quickly capture an image of your screen or a selected portion of it. This feature is useful for taking snapshots of your desktop, active windows, or specific regions without the need for additional software. The specific shortcut can vary depending on your operating system:

- **Windows**:
- **PrtScn**: Captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard.
- **Alt + PrtScn**: Captures only the active window and copies it to the clipboard.
- **Windows + Shift + S**: Opens the Snipping Tool to select a specific area to capture.
- **Windows + PrtScn**: Captures the entire screen and saves it as a file in the "Screenshots" folder.

- **Mac**:
- **Command + Shift + 3**: Captures the entire screen and saves the screenshot to your desktop.
- **Command + Shift + 4**: Allows you to select a portion of the screen to capture.
- **Command + Shift + 5**: Opens an on-screen toolbar with options to capture the entire screen, a selected window, or a custom area.

These shortcuts streamline the process of taking screenshots, making it easy to capture, save, and share visual information.
