Snapz will not capture a full web page that needs to be scrolled to see all of it, but Snagit on Windows platform will. Bummer.

They sort of mentioned that Eduo.

Snapz rocks.
This version ahs been out for awhile though.
Wonder how long it will be before we see the Intel version.
I would assume that is a total rewrite?
Very hardware related.

Snapz is the best screen capture utility by far on the mac, bar none.
For those that don’t use it there is always the trusty Cmd-Shift-3 on the mac, which has been the default screen capture command on the mac for two decades and the trusty ol’ Grab, introduced in OSX (but with a history back from NeXTstep).

One shortcut that’s usually missed by most mac users, though, is “capture an area of the screen” and “capture a whole window” and the “control” modifier, used to copy the screenshot to the clipboard to paste somewhere else, which works on all combinations. So we have:

cmd-shft-3 = Capture Full Screen
cmd-shft-4 = Capture Screen area (after combination select a rectangle with the mouse, cancel with ESC)
cmd-shft-4,space = Capture whole window (after cmd-shft-4 press the space bar and the cursor changes to a little camera, hover over the window you want to capture and click, cancel with ESC)

Pressing “ctrl” with any of the above will copy the screenshot to the clipboard for later pasting.
