In windows, holding control and pressing printscreen captures an image of your screen to the clipboard. You can then open up your favorite image editor and paste it into an image.

You might want to crop out most of the picture, and in case you havnt had the experience yet, bitmaps will save all the detail of a picture, jpg's look good enough for most purpose's and are much smaller in size (kb)

@Jermaine

You could probably implement a system to do that using a specialized camera setup or a series of TS controls, but in the end, it wouldn't be worth the effort. Plus, some of the best dev screenshots show a variety of worlds/environments/characters/etc, which might be difficult to arrange properly for a single snapshot.
