    Snipping Tool In MacOS

    Awesome Source

    The Mac snipping tool shortcut is:

    Command + Shift + 4

    This will give the grey overlay and allow you to choose what to snip. Gives you a menu and everything.

    Now the really useful one is

    Command + Ctrl + Shift + 4

    This will change your cursor to a crosshairs and you can snip the area of the screen you want, but this will copy it to your clipboard once you release the mouse button.

    Because I use a four quadrant screen workflow, I could also take advantage of using

    Command + Ctrl + Shift + 4 + Spacebar

    This brings up a prompt to take a picture of any of the application windows that are up.
