Screenshots are taken by either starting the Screenshot application or by pressing the PRINT key,

screenshot.png

In the Screenshot panel you can toggle between taking the whole screen or just the active window and decide if the window border and mouse pointer should be included. You can also enter a delay before a screenshot is taken.

Below that you set the name, format and location for the screenshot that will be used when you click Save. Instead of saving the file to disk you can also decide to Copy to clipboard to be able to paste the shot directly into another application, or take a New screenshot.

All settings are remembered the next time you take a screenshot, enabling these convenient keyboard shortcuts:

PRINTTakes a screenshot with zero delay and launches the Screenshot panel.
SHIFT PRINTTakes a screenshot silently (without opening the panel), while still respecting the last used settings.
CTRL PRINTAlso takes a screenshot silently with the saved settings, but instead of saving it as a file, it's just copied to the clipboard.
