How do I take a screenshot?

Just press the Print Screen key.

You may find the Pictures in your Home Picture folder, this will normally work with any operative system.


Shift + Print Screen allows you to print a selection of the screen.

Print Screen alone will take a screenshot.

Hold SUPER (The Windows Icon on you keyboard) to display all key shortcuts. (Only worked in Gnome 2.x)


View the available short-cuts under

Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Screenshots

or

Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard

enter image description here

If you have less options view Create custom short-cuts

If you would like to use a tool you may want to use Gimp, Shutter, etc. View more in This thread
