how do you take a screenshot of WoW? do they not let you do command+shift+3 while playing? also, all the blizzard games i have ever played, you can play in a window by pressing command+m, if i remember right. does WoW support that? if it does, then you could use Grab to take the screenshot.

You have to press F13 (or Print Screen if you got a PC style keyboard) to take a screenshot in WoW. but... powerbooks don't have F13. Hmm... I use an external keyboard with my pb.

Shift+Apple+3 works in WoW... or I could be wrong

But you can change the keybinding for the key which does take the screenshot.

If you use command-shift-3 you'll probably want to turn on vsync otherwise you make get a screenshot mid screen refresh and have a messed up image.
