5 finger printscreen on Mac OS X

Today, I needed to printscreen function on my Mac. The following website was useful:

So, essentially there are 3-ways to do it:

Command+Shift+3: takes a screenshot of the full screen (or screens if multiple monitors), and save it as a file to the desktop
Command+Shift+4: brings up a selection box so you can specify an area to take a screenshot of, then save it as a file to the desktop
Command+Shift+4, then spacebar, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window only and saves it as a file to the desktop

Pay attention that the last option requires 5 fingers!!! :) amazing
