on monterey, is there a way to screenshot without having to go to the bottom-right of the screen, maximizing the window and pressing done? i don’t want to edit, i just want to be able to quickly take a screenshot and it automatically save without any further input.

Press "command shift 5". choose "Options", disable "Show Floating Thumbnail", set "Save to" to the Desktop or "Other Location…", press "esc".
From then on, pressing "command shift 3" will take a Full Screen shot, pressing "command shift 4" will allow a screen selection

You do not have to maximize the window. It will go away after a few seconds and your screenshot will be saved automatically.
Shift + Command + 5 - three keyboard combination will perform this Screen Shot function.
As previously mentioned, the image will appear in lower right of screen for a fraction of a moment ( on my computer ) and then appear fully rendered on my Desktop
An Aside to the question.
