    And what does that do exactly? Take a snapshot of the whole screen or just a selected portion? And does it copy to the clipboard or create a file? And where is the file? That shit actually is hard to remember, especially if you don’t do it every day. And it is in no sense of the word “intuitive”.

      It’s the whole screen, if you want a selected portion, it’s CMD-SHIFT-4

      I agree that the shortcut is kind of obscure, but the usability seems fine for me. When you do the key combination your cursor turns into a cross, which by convention is used when cropping images. Once you crop the portion of the screen it creates the file in the desktop. I don’t think it’s that complicated. If you want more control you can always open the screenshot app where you can fiddle with the settings and all.
