Snipping tool in ubuntu 16.04 [duplicate]

  • 772

I searched for any type of snipping tool in ubuntu. I found Shutter & installed it. But my Ubuntu launcher didn't show its icon.

When I launch Shutter from terminal, my PC run slow & terminal showed hundreds of warnings. Is there any other snipping tool (Without Shutter) for Ubuntu 16.04?

  1. No need to install any other app or repo, just go with the defaults. Thank God for Ubuntu 16.04, it tries to get everything to work for users. Hold down the Shift + PrtScn keys together.

    Your mouse will change to a cross-like pointer. Hold down your left-click key on the mouse and drag. It saves screenshot image to Pictures directory. To copy to Clipboard, use Ctrl> + Shift + PrtScn. Have fun.

    This uses gnome-screenshot under the hood. You can change the keyboard shortcut via the regular keyboard settings.

    Have a look at Screenshot. You can find it in Ubuntu Software.

    http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome-screenshot

    Good luck!

  3. There is no need to install any apps. By default, the Screenshot app is installed in Ubuntu 16.04. Just go to Accessories, and in Accessories find Screenshot.

  5. Give screencloud a try. It sits in the panel as an indicator and it also has some nice annotating features you can use after the shot is taken. The installation instructions can be located here on the screencloud site. For 16.04:

    sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/olav-st/xUbuntu_16.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screencloud.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screencloud

    if needed, to add the release key:

    wget -nv http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:olav-st/xUbuntu_16.04/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update
