How to stop distracting Screenshot previews in macOS Mojave

Screenshot Previews can be a little distracting.

If you become annoyed/distracted by macOS 10.14 Mojave’s insistence on placing a little Screenshot Preview on your screen every time you capture a new shot, then you’ll need this tip.

How to stop annoying Screenshot previews

Mojave’s new image capture shortcut is Command-Shift-5. When you tap you invoke a shortcut in which you can choose the type of image you want to take (including capturing video of what happens on-screen), access options for save destinations and more

• Type Command-Shift-5 now.
• In the window that appears at the bottom of the screen, tap Options
• At the bottom of the drop-down list that appears, make sure to switch off the Show Floating Thumbnail item.
