Summary
After reading this, I found flameshot.
$ sudo apt install flameshot
On Linux, Flameshot doesn't yet support Pr Scr out of the box, but with a bit of configuration you can set this up:
On Ubuntu and other Gnome based distros
You can easily configure your 'print' keyboard shortcut to be assigned to Flameshot. Below an example to open Flameshot in GUI mode:
- Open Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard shortcuts.
- Select Custom shortcuts → Add shortcut
- On 'Name', name it 'Flameshot' or 'PrintScreen'.
- Define the command as 'flameshot gui'.
- Select 'Replace shortcut...'and click your keyboard Prnt Scr key.
Now you can use your default keyboard key to launch Flameshot.
