How can I take a screenshot of the active window in my RDP Session?

I'm using Jump Desktop for OSX and I'm RDPing into a Windows 7 Machine. 

Normally I use ALT+PrintScreen to take a screenshot of the active window, but in Jump Desktop it switches between applications in Windows, exactly like alt+tab does. How can I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

 

Thanks!

John

  Hi John,

  Which keyboard are you using on your Mac? Generally - sending a Print Screen on a MacBook's limited keyboard is accomplished by clicking the  'Remote' menu and then clicking Send Key -> Print Scrn.

  Oh right I forgot to mention I'm using a non-mac keyboard. 

  I use the Max Nighthawk X9 seen here:

  Thanks, that actually does help, but then I have the picture to size manually, where alt-printscreen does that for you. I tried holding the alt key while select that menu, but it didn't seem to register the combination. If there is a way to enter this key combination please let me know.

   

  Thanks!

  John

  "I have to crop the picture to size manually." is what that should have read.

  I have a full Mac keyboard with a numeric keypad. I want to do an alt printscreen to capture a particular active window on the remote PC. When I get the entire screen, crop leaves little resolution of the desired window. Is it  possible to do this? If not, will this become a future feature?
