You can find it in the keyboard shortcuts in the System Prefs

Basically a screen shot I think is command-shift-3
To select an area is command-shift-4
And to select a window is command-shift-4-spacebar

At least I think so...

I forget commands, so always go to the search bar and type in 'grab'. Then go to 'capture'.
