Print screen in Ubuntu

The easiest thing to do in Ubuntu: to take screen-shots/screen captures. You don’t need any graphic application or accessory program. just press ‘Print Screen‘ key and save the image wherever you like. The result is outstanding. By default gnome only provides keyboard shortcuts for screenshots of the full screen and the current window. but the functionality is there …

1. using a gui: main menu –> accessories -> “take a screenshot” :: choose “grab a selected area”

2. to set up a keyboard shortcut: main menu –> system –> preferences –> keyboard shortcuts. then click _Add a shortcut

name: interactive screenshot
command: gnome-screenshot -i
