Have you found the Grab application to be a little bit unwieldy when you needed a screenshot quickly? QuickGrab puts the functionality of Grab a click away.
This Widget implements the screencapture command in Darwin.
Just to add to the hotkey screen capture:
If you are doing the partial screenshot, the little select the part of the screen image appears. When this appears, you can release all the hot keys. Use the selector to select an area that you don't want anyone else to see. Now (while the mouse is still being held down) click apple-shift-3 to take a full screen shot with a blank box appearing over the area you selected.

A great idea, but some people are asking for hotkeys. Here's a quick tip: even without Grab or Konfabulator, OS X has a built-in screenshot hotkey. Actually, a slew of them. They all put their results in PDF files on the desktop.
Command-Shift-3 captures the whole screen.
Command-Shift-4 captures a part of the screen: select a region to capture, or press Space to select a window.
Add Control to these commands capture to the clipboard instead of the disk.

If you would like to move the widget, use command+drag. :-) It's relatively unknown, but that's the way to move any widget.
Version 2.0 will feature the LED/no-text setting, assuming I can use the GIMP effectively. The hotkey is an *excellent* idea.

Nice work, but... I have other widgets running and the icon for your widget does not seem to offer the option to relocate to another place on my desktop grrrrr (unless I am missing something).
Anyway nice work - saves me time.
