    I just wanted to take a snapshot of my screen from my macbook and I just found out how it is done.

    Here's sharing that with all of you.

    1.     If you want to capture the entire desktop screen:
     Press Command + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3)

     2. If you want to copy the entire desktop screen, to the clipboard:
    Press Command + Control + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Ctrl + Shift + 3). The entire screen shot will be sent to your clipboard.

     3. If you want to capture only a portion of the desktop screen:
     Press Command +Shift + 4 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4).
    A ‘+’ like cursor will appear on screen which can be dragged to select the desired area. Once you release the mouse button, the selected screen shot will be saved as a picture file on your desktop.


    I hope the information was useful!
