How do I make a screen shot in elemental beta?

I see screenshot format is listed in options. What is the key combo that actually takes a screenshot?

Every or at least every keyboard I've seen has a button called "Print Screen" or "prtscn". This should be the screen shot button. At the very least you can paste anything you've seen in photo editing software after hitting print screen.

prtscreen will take an image and dump it into your my games/elemental/screenshots folder. I suggest PNG format...considerably less artifacting.
