Window Capture
Default hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+5
Window capture grabs an entire application window in one click — no need to manually select its edges.
How to use it
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+5(or trigger Capture Window from the home window or tray menu). - Move your cursor over the window you want to capture. Savvyshot highlights the window under your cursor.
- Click to capture that window.
After capturing
The captured window opens in the editor, or in a floating preview window if Show preview after taking screenshot is enabled (see Settings).
Tips
- Press
Escto cancel before clicking. - If a window has rounded corners or shadows, Savvyshot captures the window's full bounds as reported by the operating system.
