Is there a hotkey setup to take screenshots?

If you're playing on Steam, it'll take a screenshot for you with F12. Other versions have no such hotkey, and in fact don't even always respond properly to Windows' own Print Screen key (giving a black screen instead, IIRC), but you can take screenshots using FRAPS or some other game capture software.

In windows 8 it has built in screenshot thingy, it is: (Windows key + Prt Scr)
In all windows there is a tool called Snipping tool which i like to use just type snip in search bar in start menu and use it pretty simple
You can also just press (Prt Scr) key and paste into Paint program and save it or with MS powerpoint and right click 'Save as picture'
And all like Covarr said and use screenshot software like Fraps or Lightscreen portable.
If you want a hotkey use Autohotkey which you can make your own hotkeys :P http://www.autohotkey.com/

Basically many ways XD

Open the game in window mode and hit print screen.
