Want to save just the recipe, not the whole web page? On a Chromebook, press Ctrl + Shift + Show windows and drag a box around it.

The Shortcut

  • Ctrl + Shift + Show windows: open screen capture
  • Drag a box around what you want
  • Saved to Downloads and copied to the clipboard
  • Screen recording is in the same toolbar

Bonus Tip: Clipboard History

Search + V (or Launcher + V) shows the last five things you copied. Click one to paste it.
