If you are using a laptop you may have to use the fn key for your print screen key to work.
In this tutorial I will show you how to take screenshots properly
in ubuntu. These include fullscreen screenshots, selected area,
and current window screenshots.
I also go over all of the shorcut keys that you need to know to
take all of the above mentioned types of screenshots.
I also show you how to copy your screenshots directly to your clipboard without a dialog popup
using just the default shortcut keys.
Note these shortcuts also work on Fedora(gnome desktop environment) but the default behavior is to save the screenshot directly
to your pictures folder rather than popup the gnome-screenshots dialog box giving you the option to
name your screenshot and the destination directory to save it in. However if you use the gnome-screenshots GUI
in Fedora to take your screenshot you will be able to name your screenshot and select the destination directory
to save it in.
In the second part of this tutorial I show you some strategies for taking screenshots on dual monitor
setups and using the delay setting in gnome-screenshot to take a screenshot that you would not be able
to take using the shortcut keys.
The information covered in this tutorial will also work with fedora and kali linux or any linux distro that
uses the gnome desktop and the default screenshot application is gnome-screenshot.
