Remote Desktop: CTRL + ALT + PrintScrn
I never gave it much thought until today when I tried to capture my Remote Desktop screen to my remote desktop. Obviously this will work if you need it on the computer you are on, but suppose you are working on graphics. If you capture the screen locally, you’ll end up with the compressed-for-terminal-services image, which is likely not what you really wanted. I haven’t fully played with this ‘feature’ because of lack of time and the knowledge of other keyboard functions that do not work through Remote Desktop, but by hitting CTRL with the usual ALT + PrintScn, then screen was captured to the remote clipboard. Problem Solved!
UPDATE:
Now that I’m using a Mac with a Mac keyboard, this was a little more difficult to achieve. I found this in a forum posting somewhere and remembered it when I needed it.
The “Command” key maps to the “Windows Key”. Also, F13 = printscreen, F14=scrolllock, F15=pause.
So for the purposes of this post, to take a screenshot, use option+command+F13
