Screen snip (win+shift+s) alternative for Ubuntu

I'm new to Ubuntu and trying to set up my daily requirement tools and features. One of the features I use most is screen snip.

Here are some screenshots that show what I mean by "screen snip":

rectangular screen snip

Is there some way I could do the same in Ubuntu just by hitting Super+Shift+S and have the screenshot saved to the clipboard (without any external apps if possible)?


Solution 1:

This functionality is build in in standard Ubuntu. To change the existing shortcuts, open Ubuntu Settings and scroll to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. Scroll down to the section "Screenshots". You will find entries to copy the entire screen, the current window or an area you select to the clipboard, as shown below:

You can change the hotkeys that are assigned by default to the ones you prefer. Click the command, and you will be prompted for the keystrokes that you would like to use as a shortcut. In my example, Ihave chosen super+shift+s

Pressing the delete symbol next to the command will revert to the default keystrokes.
