I use Control-Command-Shift-n to capture to the clipboard any time I
just want to paste a screen shot into a document. And the Preview "New
from Clipboard" command is the default "New Document" command; so
Control-Command-Shift-4, launch Preview, Command-N does the trick. I've
used that as well off an on through the years, but it didn't occur to me
when I initially answered.
