Gnome-Screenshot GUI: Which command launches that?

  • 772

I'm interested in setting up a keyboard shortcut that will launch the graphical user interface for Gnome Screenshot. I am however unable to find the command that launches the GUI.

Executing gnome-screenshot simply takes a screenshot, which is not what I am interested in.

gnome

    You may look for interactive mode

    man gnome-screenshot

      -i, --interactive
          Interactively set options in a dialog.

    Use:

    gnome-screenshot -i

    Anyway, to get command for a GUI launcher in menu, look for its .desktop file. Example:

    more /usr/share/applications/gnome-screenshot.desktop

    Or use MenuLibre tool

  2. For other screenshot options without opening the GUI:

    gnome-screenshot -a Grab a user selected area of the screen

    gnome-screenshot -w Grab a window instead of the entire screen

    gnome-screenshot -c Send screen grab directly to the clipboard

    For additional options, in the terminal type your command -help

    gnome-screenshot -help
