What's the easiest way to take a screenshot of my Mac?
I've used Grab.app, but it's a bit annoying just to get a quick screenshot. Is there a faster way?

Best Answer
cmd shift 3 takes a screenshot of the entire current Desktop (all attached monitors, as separate shots].
cmd shift 4 takes a screenshot of a dragged selection.
cmd shift 4 then space (you must press space separately) then click, to take a screenshot of a specific window.
Holding Opt ⌥ as you click will remove the drop-shadow.
Add control to the shortcuts above to place the screen shot on the clipboard instead of saving it to the desktop.
