This AppleScript makes it easier to save screenshots to your clipboard than by using Apple's built-in keyboard shortcuts that do the same. I find Apple's keyboard shortcuts difficult to remember, which is why I created this script.

| Description: This applescript captures a screenshot and puts it into your clipboard. This AppleScript provides the user with three screen capture options, "Desktop", "Window", and "Selection". | |
| If "Desktop" is chosen, it simply takes a screenshot of the currently selected desktop (this distinction is important for computers with multiple monitors). | |
| If "Window" is chosen, the user can choose which window they wish to capture a screenshot of. | |
| If "Selection" is chosen, the user can choose an area that should be used to capture a screenshot of. | |
