Capturing screenshot is a useful way for us to save some contents which can't be copied or downloaded. When we are surfing the Internet in Chrome, we may want to capture a full screenshot of the web page we need. At this time, pressing “Print Screen SysRq” button on the keyboard and using “Snipping Tool” to capture it aren't convenient ways, since they can just capture the viewable content on the screen and then we need to splice several screenshots to get the full one.
