If you are running a VPC instance and you’d like to take a screenshot of something on the VPC, did you know you can do that without any photo editing hassle?

Simply make sure you aren’t “in” the VPC (hit the right Alt key if you are).  Now click and drag a square around the portion of the VM you want to capture.  CTRL+C or Edit -> Copy will capture the section to the clipboard and you can paste it wherever. 

Nice touch.
