If I remember this right, I believe it's cmd+shift+3 to take a screenshot on Mac. It will end up on your desktop.
I think also cmd+shift+4 is an option, but that will give you a frame to narrow in on what you want to take a picture of, and I think you,ll have to use the mousepointer to adjust the frame before taking the picture, and I'm not sure if that aproach is accessible with VO.
I always use the first option.

Absolutely spot on Cliff. Well done & thanks. As a follow-up: I've read all the help material for Voiceover users & even searched for "screenshot" in the help screens on my Mac, but didn't find that. It makes me wonder what cmd+shift+5, 6 7 etc do - & all the other possible keystroke permutations. Is there a comprehensive guide anywhere?
