  • Press both Alt keys to send the frontmost app window to ChatGPT as an attachment, then type what you need
  • The attachment carries both a screenshot and the text the app exposes, so ChatGPT can read content that sits outside the visible area of the window
  • Appshots launched on Mac in August 2026. This brings the same hotkey to Windows
  • Available on ChatGPT Business and Enterprise plans
