Here is a category of lesser known apps I use everyday: Text recognition. Want to copy text in an image? Or copy text on a website that won't allow you to copy? Both of the following apps use a similar keyboard shortcut to the screenshot shortcuts you already know, command + shift + 2. Now you can copy any text on your screen.

It's present in Safari, Photos, and presumably some other apps that make use of the native image view widget as well.
