Boy, was I grateful to learn this trick when I did. I just couldn't figure out for anything how to take a screenshot on my Mac. Luckily, it's simple. The thing is, that there are multiple shortcuts, because there are multiple ways you may want your screenshot to be saved.

#3 - Close a Window

• Use: Command-W

Want to close any window quicker?  Simply use "Command-W" and it's done. It is just so much faster than clicking the "X" in the corner.

#2 - Close all Windows

• Use: Option-Command-W

Do you have too many windows open on your Mac?  Not a problem, just Use "Option-Command-W" and close them all at once.

#1 - Save

• Use : Command-S

This has to be the number one shortcut for one reason.  How helpful would your Mac be if it couldn't save anything. So to save your work in an active window in an application simply press Command-S and your work is saved.

That's it guys! More shortcuts in the future, but for now...Chao!
