MacOS Mojave Screen Recording and CloudApp

Published Jun 19, 2019 in #apple, #macos, #technologys-betrayal

I didn’t realize that MacOS Mojave had unified screenshot/screen recording functionality, and bound it to a keyboard shortcut Shift-Command-5.

Except when I tried it all I got was the usual screenshot cursor, with none of the options detailed in that support post. After trying a few related shortcuts it dawned on me that CloudApp was hijacking the default keyboard shortcut. Quitting CloudApp/reassigning the shortcut then uncovered the default MacOS behavior.
