Shutter: A Linux Screenshot Application for Jared

[mlnews]

nixCraft looks at Shutter, the ultimate screen shot application for the Linux desktop, they say. @JaredBusch will have to check it out and see if it lives up to expectation.

Used it once now. give me a day or so.

I have a Guide to post for Nextcloud 11 on Fedora 25 so I will need to make screenshots.

@JaredBusch Greenshot is nice on Windows. I use Shutter in Linux.

There is no setting in Shutter to bind it to the Print Screen key on my keyboard

I'll have to go google that up.

ok been using this a few days now and it is great. a lot of useful features and does almost everything I need.

Just need to figure out how to bind the prtscn key to it.

I'll have to download it. I never use anything other than the built in Gnome/KDE utilities.

I have it set to never pop open the main windows and just rely on the auto copy to clipboard. but it does still keep it all in the main window so I can tell it to show it and click to edit easily.

What happens if you hit print screen? Does it open another app?

that is not what cinnamon does by default. by default it just puts a screenshot in your picture directory.

So to make this work like I wanted

Click Menu

Click Preferences

Click Keyboard

Click add custom shortcut

Give it a name and the command to use. man shutter to find the switch you prefer

Goto System -> Screenshots and Recording -> Take a Screenshot
Double click on the Print binding and press backspace to clear it.

Or go to the custom shortcut and let it take it by force.

You have successfully rebound your print screen key to a non default function.
