Windows like default screenshot

botsolutions · 04-17-2018, 05:34 AM

I just migrated to linux mint cinnamon, and I really miss windows' built in screenshot feature.
I need something with no gui, no bs, just hit prtsc button to capture the whole screen and alt+prtsc to capture only the current window.

Please help

Shouldn't Cinnamon be able to do that by default?

Found this, and print screen button does work in Mint, I just tried it.

You can take a screenshot of the entire screen by pushing the "Print Screen" (PrtSc) button on your keyboard.
To get a screenshot of only the active window, use Alt-PrtSc. This is easier than using the Gnome "Take Screenshot" tool.

I will play around with the hotkeys.
