disable transparency for screenshots

[Richard Mitchell]

I have transparency enabled for my iTerm2 profiles because I like having a vague idea what is underneath.  However, when I'm taking a screenshot of something, I'd like to NOT share that information with others.

Does anyone have any tricks for quickly disabling and then reenabling transparency?

that was embarrassingly too obvious.

If you use cmd-shift-4 then spacebar, it will take a screenshot of
just a single window. If you do this, the stuff behind the terminal
windows is not captured.

Apparently I've never paid attention to the subtleties of screen capture either.  Was quite aware of hitting spacebar to grab the entire window, didn't notice it didn't include the stuff behind because that is really the right thing to do.  Good to make note of that though, thanks.

CMD-U to toggle transparency is really handy. I use iTerm2 daily and with lots of customizations and profile setups....amazed there is still usefull stuff that gets overlooked.
