We installed a new default Screenshot tool. When you press PrintScreen the Screen will get a dark overlay and you can select the Area you want to screenshot and immediately start editing the image.

• Adjustable selection
• Direct upload to the imgur to share the screenshot online
• Usual features like copy to clipboard or save to disk
• Highlight or blur parts of the screenshot
• Place markings such as arrows, circles and rectangles on the image

A quick usage preview can be seen here:

For more advanced user, we also installed scrot, a command line tool that takes screenshot either fullscreen, current window or selection area. You can also bind this command to the printscreen key if you visit System > Hardware > Keyboard Shortcut and scroll down to the custom keybinds. There you will see the Printscreen function and can edit it to execute one of those:

# Create a screenshot of the entire screen in your home directory with a datetime stamp
scrot ~/%y%m%d_%H%M.png

# Create a screenshot of the current window in your homedirectory
scrot -ub ~/%y%m%d_%H%M.png

# Opens a selection tool to select the area to screenshot
scrot -s ~/%y%m%d_%H%M.png

For advanced info on scrot type man scrot in a terminal.
