I have long used Shift-Command-4 to take screenshots, but I only recently discovered Shift-Command-5, which provides finer control (and it's much easier to use when I'm working at my treadmill desk). Also, Command-K to clear out a terminal window (also often works in similar places, such as the MAMP error log viewer).

You can configure that to whatever you want, by the way. Just check out the System preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts[0] [0] https://i.imgur.com/jCHL2Pb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jCHL2Pb.jpg

My favourite hidden function: Pressing space after Shift-Cmd-4 toggles window mode. In window mode, only the window you select will be captured.

  Note also that menus are treated like windows, so you can screenshot a menu as well.

  that is awesome. So awesome maybe it should be the default.

The various screenshot features are good, and also one of the best uses of the touchbar I've seen. Use any of the variations on taking a screenshot, and you will get a menu to take a screenshot of an area, window, full desktop, etc.
