Just a heads-up
if you did a photograph for aesthetic reasons or something, carry on, but if you did so because you couldn't find a good way to take a screenshot, I usually use the command-line
grimutility. I'll sometimes do something like$ sleep 3; grimon one workspace, then flip to the one I want to screenshot, so that three seconds after issuing the command, it'll save a screenshot.I'm sure that there are also other utilities out there, and KDE Plasma may have its own screenshot utility built in somewhere. But I can vouch that
grimwill do it.On KDE, Meta/Win + Shift + S brings up the screenshot utility
Spectacle.
Different shortcuts for different things.
Your shortcut, or just PrtSc does the default thing (configurable in Preferences).
Meta + Shift + Print = Rectangular region
Shift + Print = Fullscreen
Meta + Print = Active window
Meta + Ctrl + Print = Select window
Options include:
Include mouse pointer
Include window titlebar and borders
Include window shadow
Quit after manual save or copy
Delay
Flameshot and bind it to your PrtSc button. It has been the absolute best screenshot util I've ever used.
