I want to make it so that when I press the print screen key on my keyboard, it actually includes the cursor. I know that it is calling gnome-screenshot, but I can't find any way to change the arguments it is using with it. If anyone knows about this, it would be greatly appreciated.
I had an Ubuntu update, and my "screenshot" option is not the same as it used to be. I used to press SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN, and then a menu asking me where I want to save my images appeared (the specific menu that used to appear is shown in the image below)
Now this menu does not appear. SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN still works, but the above menu asking where I want to save my screenshot does not appear.
How do I get this functionality back?
By the way - I know that I can use "screenshot" from my command line, or that I can start that "screenshot" plugin, but I specifically liked this amazing sequence: PRT SCRN, then that specific menu asking where I want to save it pops up....
Here is the Ubuntu info after update: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic
It works on Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity, however neither via upgrade or a fresh install, does the screenshot keyboard button work on Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME shell.
Can anyone tell me why or how to fix it?
I'm using gnome-shell on Ubuntu 12.04. When I hit PrtSc to take a screenshot, it works, but it automatically saves the screenshot in my Pictures folder. There's no dialogue asking where to save. It does show the dialogue box under unity though.
Are there any sort of configuration options for specifying the default save location for gnome-screenshot, or is this hard-coded into the source code?
It used to be ~/Desktop, which seems to have changed to ~/Pictures (in 12.04).
The only possible solution I've seen is about Setting the default name (as it includes time stamp information now instead of simply 'Screenshot#'), but that solution doesn't really seem ideal to me.
Also, this post suggested that the last save location is remembered the next time you take a screenshot, but in my experience, this doesn't seem to be the case. And in any case, following on from that, that entry in gconf-editor doesn't even seem to accurately reflect the last location, so more than likely an entry related to an older version of gnome-screenshot.
