Using Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME and when I press printscreen it saves the file to my 'Pictures' folder. But when I press ctrl+shift+printscreen to select an area or even ctrl+shift it flashes like it took the shot but isn't saving to anywhere I can find and I searched keywords to find it. Using the screenshot tool with a GUI works fine but I like using shortcuts.



Any idea why they aren't saving using those two keyboard shortcuts?

          The keyboard combination Ctrl+PrtScr captures your whole screen and copies it to clipboard, doesn't save anywhere. You can then open an application (e.g. GIMP) and paste the captured screenshot.



          Similarly, Ctrl+Shift+PrtScr lets you capture an area and copies it to clipboard.
