Share screenshot tips for Fedora workstations

Introduction

Fedora Workstation comes with a simple but sufficient tool for taking screenshots. Allows users to quickly take screenshots of the desktop, a specific window, or any part of the screen. Screenshot Tool (gnome-screenshot) This application is specifically designed to quickly capture and save screenshots on desktop systems.

Start Screenshot

In Fedora workstation, launch Screenshot by searching for screenshot in the activities overview. It can also be found in the applications view (in the Utilities folder).

Screenshot Mode

Screenshot has three main screenshot modes:
•Capture entire screen
•Capture current window
•Intercept selected area

Note that if you have multiple monitors, grabbing the entire screen will take a screenshot of the entire screen, not just the current monitor.

These operating modes also have some additional options.
•Delayed screenshot: Allows you to specify how many seconds to wait before taking a screenshot. It is used to capture content for later display. Delayed capture can only be used in two modes: "Capture the entire screen" and "Capture the current window".
• Capture current window mode with the most additional options. It allows you to automatically add effects such as shadows after taking a screenshot. When capturing a window, you can also specify whether the window borders and mouse pointer should be displayed in the screenshot.

Take a screenshot

After setting the mode and options, press the "Screenshot" button in the upper right corner of the screenshot program window. When you press the screenshot button, the window will be hidden, so it won't show up in your screenshot.

If you use the "Capture selected area" mode, after pressing the "Screenshot" button, your mouse pointer will become a cross cursor pointer. Just click and drag to select the screenshot area.

Save screenshot

After intercepting, the screenshot program will display a save dialog box. It generates a time-based filename. Simply change the filename to your needs and click Save. Screenshot also provides a button next to it to copy the screenshot to the clipboard. This is convenient if you want to quickly paste into another application like GIMP or Inkscape for further editing.
