I tried to start a screendump with the command line


keystroke "4" using {shift down, command down}

however I failed choosing the correct process to target with this command.

Can somebody help me with that???

Hi,

it’s easier to use the shell command screencapture

do shell script "screencapture -i ~/Desktop/picture1.png"

is almost the same as shift-cmd 4
