Résumé

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:

  1. Open Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard shortcuts.
  2. Select Custom shortcuts → Add shortcut
  3. On 'Name', name it 'Flameshot' or 'PrintScreen'.
  4. Define the command as 'flameshot gui'.
  5. Select 'Replace shortcut...'and click your keyboard Prnt Scr key.

Now you can use your default keyboard key to launch Flameshot.
