How to take screenshot of emacs save message?

When I press `C-X C-S` and then try make screenshot save message `Wrote {{file-name}}` disappears. How to preserve it while making screenshot?

Not an answer to yr question but the save message is preserved in the `*Messages*` buffer. Inspect with `C-h e`.

If you only want to see the message again, and possibly the messages before, you can open the `*Messages*` buffer with e.g. `M-x view-echo-area-messages`. If you need the message to remain there for longer, changing the variable `minibuffer-message-clear-timeout` could be a solution. On my Emacs, it's set to `nil` and therefore a message does not disappear until the next input, happens, ie. until I press a key.
