    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 grim utility. I’ll sometimes do something like $ sleep 3; grim on 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 grim will do it.

        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.
