How to take screenshots in Linux

Sometimes we need to write some tutorials and need to use some computer screenshots or capture windows and Menus, etc., since different Linux distributions may have different built-in screenshot software, I will not introduce them in detail here. Here, we mainly introduce the common screenshot shortcut keys.

If you just need to take a relatively simple task such as capturing the entire screen, the system's own screen capture software can do the job. To capture the entire screen, use the shortcut PrintScreen (above the keyboard, to the right of "F12").

By default, the screenshot will be saved in the picture folder in the personal home folder.

Capture a specific window. Use the shortcut key alt PrintScreen to capture the entire currently active window.

Capture the selected area. After using the shortcut key shift PrintScreen, the mouse will change into a "cross" shape, click on the starting point of the interception, drag the mouse to set the range, and the screenshot will be saved.
