Press and hold these for keys together at the same time:
Shift, Command, 3 and Control.
Press Shift, Command, 4 and drag the pointer to select the area and then press and hold Control and then take the screenshot by releasing the mouse or trackpad button and then please the Control key.
Press Shift, Command, 4, and Space bar together. The pointer will become a camera icon. Then press and hold the Control key as well and click the window to take the screenshot. Then release Control.
After taking the screenshot, now you can paste it:
On your Mac, open the document or app you want to paste the capture into. Then you can press Command-V or choose Edit > Paste.
Again this works if you are using Universal Clipboard. Decide where you want to paste it. Then depending on the device, paste it as you normally would. For example, on an iPad or iPhone, you can pinch open with three fingers, you can touch and hold then select Paste, or you can double-tap and select Paste.
