Capture
- Press ⇧⌘4 (requires Replace macOS Screenshot Keys), or choose menu bar › Screenshot › Area.
- Drag to select the area you want to capture. The label beside it shows the size.
- Release the mouse button. The image is handled according to the steps you set in After Capture (by default: show the preview card, copy it and save the file).

Capture the same area as last time

In Settings › Screenshot › Capture:
- Glowing selection: the screen keeps its brightness while you drag, and the selection border glows in the color of each kind of capture (purple for captures, green for OCR, pink for subject lifting, amber for scrolling captures). Turn it off to dim the screen as before.
- Ripple on capture: a short ripple over the area you just captured.
- Show cursor: includes the pointer in the image.
