ctrl + alt + F13

The version of windows shouldn't make any difference

And where the hell is F13 key?

F13 is the PrintScreen (PrtScn) button. I think the original poster is cryptically pointing out a hotkey combination that prints the active window into your clipboard (instead of the entire screen). However, this can be done using the simpler Alt-PrtScn. To review:

* PrtScn: prints the whole screen into your clipboard

* Alt-PrtScn: prints the active window into your clipboard

* Ctrl-Alt-PrtScn: same as Alt-PrtScn

:D I posted this as a joke. One of my coworker got me searching on google by mistrust. It took me at least 2 minutes before I realize there was no F13 key.

How does one simulate the F13 key on a standard keyboard?
