    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?

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.

    thanks. I had tried that many times. It was bringing up the bar but the testing cheats commands weren't working.

    Turns out I had the wrong command to turn on the cheats as well as the wrong shortcut keys.

    Specifically - listed as testingcheats on (as given in the apocalypse challenge rules) - when it should be testingCheats true

    thank you for your help!
