Keyboard shortcut to summon screenshot tool

Currently, I go to dash, type Screenshot to start the screenshot tool. Is there any keyboard shortcut to summon it ? Thanks.

Solution 1:

No, but as far as I know you can create custom shortcut to launch the Gnome Screenshot.

• Navigate to Settings > Devices > Keyboard.

• Assign new custom keyboard shortcut by clicking + button on bottom of page.

• In the command section, type following.

   gnome-screenshot --interactive
  

• Save the changes

You can now bring up Gnome Screenshot by clicking keyboard combination.

If you wish to screenshot your whole desktop, simply pressing PrtSc will capture your screen immediately, in default Ubuntu it will then ask you directory to store the saved screenshot.

On the other hand, Alt + PrtSc will capture your currently active window.
