Upon installing XFCE, the xfce4-screenshooter is also installed.
Create keyboard shortcut for screenshots
Note that the Below will initiate a selection screenshot so that one may select the appropriate screen area using the crosshairs.
It will also automatically save the screenshot in the Downloads directory and name it appropriately.
In order to have a nice shortcut (I prefer F12), simply:
- > Menu > Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts > Add >
sh -c 'xfce4-screenshooter -r -s "$HOME/Downloads/Screenshot_$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S).png"'
Then type the keyboard shortcut desired.
