Enhanced Screenshot

If I understand correctly, you want to remap “Take a screenshot and send it to Preview” to ⇧⌘4 (from originally ⇧F4).

Basically it goes like this:

  1. Replace the hotkey in the macro header with your new one (as @hello already had said)

  2. Adjust the modifier-key conditions in the macro accordingly:

    • The modifier for ‘sending to Preview’ is ⇧. This is OK, since ⇧ is also in your new hotkey.

    • The ⌘ modifier however is used for switching fullscreen/selection mode, aka ‘Interactive toggle’. So, you would have to replace that condition with a different one that is not part of your new hotkey. A quick way would be to use ⌃ (Ctrl) instead, which is not used at all in the original macro. (It's defined in the action titled “Modifier for Interactive Toggle”.)

  3. Now adjust the hotkey triggers in the macro header to the changed modifier condition(s): In this case you would have to replace ⌘F4 with ⌃F4, and ⇧⌘F4 with ⌃⇧F4.

For consistency you could adapt the text of the dialog window (where it says “⌘” for the Interactive toggle) to the new modifier.
