Which Mac are you using? I rely on that key combo for screen shotting, and it still works reliably for me on Mojave with my MBA.

I take it you've tried rebooting?

Works for me.

does it copy to your clipboard?
by me it started to put the screenshot on my desktop instead of just copying it to the clipboard

does command-shift-3 work? and try command-shift-5 (the new screenshot app). check system preferences>keyboard>shortcuts>screenshots; is 'save picture of selected area as a file', with command-shift-4, checked??

if nothing works, try rebooting.

Mine has always saved to the desktop. Never to clipboard.

Command-Shift-4 has never copied to the clipboard. If you want any screenshot copied to the clipboard you have to also hold the Control key (Command-Control-Shift-4 in this case). It has always been this way.

new screenshot app in the other folder now. You can use that

yep, like i said above; it can be invoked with 'command-shift-5' (& the app itself lives in the utilities folder)...
