I take it that you mean a keyboard with a 60% layout, which is a condensed keyboard layout without a dedicated number pad or function row. You'll need to employ keyboard shortcuts that use the "Print Screen" (PrtScn) key and maybe other modifier keys like "Alt," "Ctrl," or "Windows" in order to take a screenshot on your computer using a 60% keyboard.
The main procedures for taking screenshots on the Windows OS while using a 60% keyboard are as follows:
1. Screenshot of the entire page (PrtScn):
On your 60% keyboard, press the "PrtScn" key. This will record the whole screen.
2. Screenshot of the active window (Alt + PrtScn):
In the same motion, press the "PrtScn" and "Alt" keys. Only the window that is open at the time will be captured.
3. Screenshot of the clipboard (Windows + Shift + S):
Use the "Shift" and "S" keys along with the "Windows" key (if it's on your keyboard). By doing this, you may access the snipping tool and choose what area of the screen you want to capture. Your clipboard will receive the screenshot.
4. Screenshot of the clipboard (PrtScn + Windows + Shift + S):
Holding down "Shift" and "S" while pressing the "PrtScn" and "Windows" keys. Additionally, the snapshot will be transferred to your clipboard and the snipping tool will be opened so that you can choose a specific area of the screen to record.
5. Screenshot of the clipboard (Alt + PrtScn + Windows + Shift + S):
Press "Windows" + "Shift" + "S" after "Alt" + "PrtScn" on your keyboard. By using this combination, you can pick the area of the screen you want to screenshot, and the screenshot will be transferred to your clipboard.
Keep in mind that the precise keyboard shortcuts may vary depending on the operating system version you are using. The key combinations can be different if you're using a Mac.
Once you've taken a screenshot, you can paste it directly into a software like a document editor or email client, or into an image editing program (like Paint on Windows). Use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + V" to paste the screenshot.
Remember that certain keyboards may have a different label for the "Print Screen" function or the "PrtScn" key. It might display as "PrtSc" or another similar symbol. Depending on your keyboard's documentation, you might need to employ auxiliary functions or key combinations if certain keys aren't indicated on your keyboard.
