Screen capture

Take a picture of the screen, mark it up, then copy it, keep it, send it or report a problem with it.

Take a capture

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Q (Mac: Control+Shift+Q), or click the camera button in the header.
2. The screen freezes and darkens. Click a window to take it, drag over any part, or click outside the windows for the whole screen.
3. Drag the handles to change the part, or drag inside it to move it.

In the desktop app the key works from any program, and the window under the mouse lights up. In a browser, the browser first asks what to share.

Mark it up

The toolbar under the picture has a box, an arrow, text, highlight, blur (for anything nobody should read) and numbered steps, in five colours. Ctrl+Z undoes.

Use it

• ✓ Done (or Enter): copied, ready to paste into a document, a chat or a mail.
• Ask the Assistant: "What does this mean?", "Copy the text out", "Make a task from this", or your own question. The answer comes in your chat with the Assistant.
• Save in Files: choose the name, one of your folders and tags (flows or items), or download it to this computer.
• Send in a chat, Attach to an item, or Report a problem (goes to the Gridfloo team with the picture).
• Pin (desktop app): the picture floats on top of everything. Drag it anywhere; Esc or a double-click closes it.

Esc or a right-click steps back. Pictures you use are also kept in your folder Screenshots in Files (the last 20; only you see them).

Mac and Linux

• On a Mac, allow Gridfloo in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen Recording the first time, then restart Gridfloo.
• On Linux, use the camera button: the computer first asks what to share, and the key from other programs and window highlighting are not available.
