I have a screenshot issue on Ubuntu 20.04. I can copy the box selection screenshot to the clipboard and the whole screen to the clipboard, but I cannot copy the window screenshot to the clipboard with the ctrl+alt+PrintSc. The alt+PrintSc shortcut works and save a window screenshot. My alt key works perfectly too. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Can't reproduce that. For me it works on Ubuntu 21.10. But then, you did not provide information on your Ubuntu version, desktop you use and on your hardware. – vanadium Mar 09 '22 at 07:49

    Deleted my unhelpful answer so your question will show as unanswered. Sorry for wasting your time! Things to add to your question - (1) Ubuntu version; (2) can you save a screenshot with Alt-PrtSc?; (3) does Alt with anything else function? (eg try Alt +f2 to open a terminal window.) That will help determine if it might be a problem with the Alt key or its mapping. – Will Mar 09 '22 at 08:40
  • There is a solution here `gnome-screenshot -acf /tmp/test && cat /tmp/test | xclip -i -selection clipboard -target image/png ` https://askubuntu.com/questions/1232618/gnome-screenshot-copy-clipboard-not-working-on-ubuntu-20-04 – Amin May 11 '22 at 04:51

  • Thanks for your response but it is not what I was expecting. I use the version 20.04 and I am not trying to record my screen. The shortcuts are well set but the "Copy a screenshot of a window to clipboard" is just not working. – Wes B. Jun 04 '22 at 10:00
  • @WesB. I thought it might work for you, by the way, it can also take screenshots besides recordings. – Amin Jun 06 '22 at 04:53
