Utility used in the GNOME desktop environment for taking screenshots
GNOME Screenshot is a desktop environment-agnostic utility for taking screenshots. It was part of the GNOME Utilities (gnome-utils) package, but was split into its own package[2] for the 3.3.1 version in 2011.[3] It was the default screenshot software in GNOME until it was replaced by a built-in utility in GNOME Shell version 42.[4]
It provides several options, including capturing the whole desktop or just a single window, a time delay function, and some image effects.
These options are also default bound to keyboard shortcuts:
PrtSc
for whole screen
Crtl
+ PrtSc
for current window
Shift
+ PrtSc
for area of the screen, which then automatically saves the screenshot to a file in the home directory.
Similar applications include Flameshot, Shutter which provides more options, and Spectacle in KDE.
