How do I set a shortcut to screenshot a selected area?
In gnome's screen shot program, the quick keys PrtScn captures the entire screen and alt+PrtScn captures the active window. Is there a way to script or set up the third capture option of a selected area?
Update: I don't seem to have this key already mapped...
- Open System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
- Select Custom Shortcuts(you can go to Screenshot-s too and it will work)
- Click +
- Fill fields
-

- Double-click on what you make and set shortcut Shift+PrtSc
— And that's all ... ;)
That shortcut is already built-in: Shift+PrtScr :)
