Quickly take a screen snapshot of only the current window on macOS

A shortcut that simply takes a snapshot of the current app's frontmost window and copies it to the clipboard.

To assign a keyboard shortcut it, open the shortcut in Shortcuts app, click ⓘ in the sidebar, then the Add Keyboard Shortcut button, then press your keyboard combination.

You have to wait some time for the keyboard shortcut to be activated systemwide (less than a minute), but if you restart the app you want the window snapshot from, it will work immediately.
