Quick screen capture application

Solution 1:

Gnome already does this.

  • Shift + PrtSc allows you to draw the rectangle to capture.
  • Ctrl + PrtSc captures the active window on the screen.
  • PrtSc captures the entire screen.

It saves to your Pictures directory. You can change the save directory using dconf-editor.

No dialog, no GUI. Just a flash to provide you feedback that the image was captured.
