Easy Screen Capture in OS X
Taking screen shots in Apple’s OS X operating system really could not be easier. This video tutorial takes you through three simple keyboard shortcuts that offer different ways to capture elements on your screen.
A quick video tutorial on how to take screen grabs using the OS Shortcuts. The three shortcuts covered :
⇧⌘ 3 for a screen shot of the entire desktop.
⇧⌘ 4 for a set of crosshairs that allow you to select the area of the screen you want to grab.
⇧⌘ 4 (Space) grabs only the window the user clicks.

Nice video. I like to hold the control key down too, that puts the screenshot on the clipboard rather than creates a file.

is the key combination to bring out crosshairs to select a portion of the screen to grab. It then places the grab ON THE CLIPBOARD rather than creating a file. You can then paste the grab into an appropriate application window.
Holding down the CONTROL key doesn’t seem to do anything.
