    Taking screenshots in game is done by pressing C.

    Taking screenshots in macOS is CMD, Shift and 3 or 4 or 5.

    Have you changed the default settings in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Screenshots?

It definitely isn't the preferences on Mac. Mac screenshot shortcut is SHIFT - COMMAND - 3

This a a problem with something in the game. I am also having a problem with this.

And there seems to be no way to change any preferences in the game itself for screenshots or cheat screens or otherwise.

Has anyone found a work around or a solution so far?

    What are you having a problem with? If you press C to take a screenshot in-game does it not work?

      @Bluebellflora 

      I am not trying to make a screen shot. 

      It makes a screen shot instead of opening the testing cheats bar.

      The problem is that the shortcut given for macs for the testing cheats bar makes a screenshot.

      It isn't a problem with the shortcut keys on the machine but a problem in the game.

      the shortcut keys on the machine for screen shot are Shift-Command-3 and not Shift-Command-C

      Shift-Command-C is supposed to be shortcut in game to open the testing cheats bar - instead it makes a screen shot. Presumably because of pressing C.

      and so far I have seen this problem listed in several places but haven't found any solutions.

        No. Bringing up the cheat bar is using CTRL, Shift and C, it always has been even on a Mac. Not CMD, Shift and C.

    I also have the same problem. I turned off all the things in settings on my laptop but it still makes screenshots. I tried everything. I don't know how to turn off screen capture in the game. The problem is C not control or the command button. My sister has the same laptop and it works for her but not for me. Could someone help me pls. thx
