screenshoting or screenshotting?

0 Which spelling is correct - screenshotting or screenshoting (-ed or -ted respectively)? I couldn't find any official reference about these word forms as "screenshot" is not even a word according to any of the "complete" English dictionaries (Google search would report both forms as almost equally correct).0-

0 As the verb has 2 syllabes, both versions work. I'd use the doubling. 02br 02br 00 See:02br 02br 00 ------02br 00 label 02br 02br 00 Function: transitive verb02br 02br 00 Inflected Form(s): 01b 00labeled or labelled; labeled or labelled; labeling or labelling 02br 00 ------02br 02b 0-

0 Is this screenshot as in (from a dictionary):...02br
02br
00"screen shot (also screenshot) (noun) Computing an image of the display on a computer screen to demonstrate the operation of a program." ?02br
02br
00If you want to 'turn it into a verb' - would that be "to screen shoot"? In which case you'd say "screen shooting" and "screen shot". 0-
