Nope. Cmd(same as Apple key)/Shift-4. Allows you to drag the tool to shoot
any portion of the screen.

I make picts with all sorts of apps all the time, whatever is easiest and
fastest to do what I want. I often don't want to go through a naming and
saving process, so I just use a Cmd/Shift-4, surround the image (I'm very
good at getting it exact), and shoot it.

I use the screenshot tools, Cmd/Shift-3 for the whole screen, Cmd/Shift-4
for portions of the screen, constantly for time reasons. As long as I know
where they are in the list of Pictures, I can import them anywhere, change
the filetype, or whatever. Plus, I can look through them directly from the
Finder without having to load a translator.
