the title is self explanatory. I'm doing a presentation for my speech class and I was wondering if Mac OS X enables screenshots or not. thanks in advance.
command-shift-3 immediately takes a full screenshot of the screen (all your screens, if you have several)
command-shift-4 and you get to manually define a rectangle on the screen to capture.
After you are in the manual capture mode but before you have started dragging, you can press space. That takes you to a mode where you point and click any window to capture the contents of that window. Space again takes you back to manual capture mode, esc cancels the capture.
Nope. That advanced capability is beyond OS X. Did you even learn OS X? Grab has been around since 1989 with NeXTSTEP let alone all the way to 10.4.10/Leopard.

key combo command-shift-3
Select Mac Help from the help menu and enter "screenshot" in the search field. It'll give you several more options for screen grabs.

The new keyboards should have used F5 and F6 for these purposes. F5 = full screen-shot. F6 = partial, drag & grab screen-shot.
Why?
Command-shift-3 has been the screen shot key combo on Macs for 23 years.
