• The default Screenshot function in Cinnamon is for PrtScn key to run “gnome-screenshot” which silently grabs the whole screen and saves it to your “Pictures” directory. This is both less useful and less obvious than it might be. Modify Cinnamon so that the PrtScn key runs “gnome-screenshot –interactive” which allows you to choose the behavior you want. To do this on Mint 17.3 (Cinnamon 2.8.7):
  • Menu > Preferences > Keyboard
  • Select “Shortcuts”
  • Add a new “Custom Shortcut” command to run “gnome-screenshot –interactive”, and bind it to the PrtScn key (called “Print”)
