Set name: gsettings set .media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ name 'flameshot' Set new custom binding: gsettings set .media-keys custom-keybindings '' On Pop_OS! 22.04: gsettings set show-screenshot-ui '' On older Ubuntu versions: gsettings set .media-keys screenshot '' On Ubuntu 19.10 or newer use this command: gsettings set .media-keys screenshot '' Binding Flameshot to the PrtScr buttonįirst, you have to release the PrtScr binding.

In case of Zorin OS that I’m testing currently, the snap version was installed.Īfter the installation finishes, start the app and make sure that is started with the computer (Launch at startup).

#Flameshot command install#

You can also install it from the software center.

In Ubuntu and derivates you only need to run this command: sudo apt install flameshot Unfortunately pressing the PrtScr button launches the default system screenshot app and this behavior needs to be overridden to fully utilize Flameshot.

You can also upload the screenshot to the cloud and it will auto-copy the link that you can insert into bug tickets easily.įlameshot can be triggered by clicking the corresponding icon in the taskbar, but when you are hovering over a web element that you need to demonstrate on the screenshot this is not an option. The ability to draw right on the screenshot and to be able to just ctrl+c to copy and insert into a chat is a godsend. Also, if you want you can go through the configurations and set up a custom format for the automatic filename modification.I settled on using Flameshot, which I use regularly to highlight bugs in the implementation of projects I oversee. Or you can save the file in a folder somewhere. Then we have the inversion brush to invert the colors of the screenshot! Next we also have the undo redo buttons for easy access and with so many features these are a must have.Īfter you take a screenshot, you can directly use the clipboard functionality to quickly upload it to your word file or to somewhere else. Next we have the pixelate brush to hide sensitive information in the screenshot. Have a look at the figure below: Auto Incrementing Bubbles Then we also have an autoincrementing counter bubble if we want to give certain instructions in the Screenshot. Next we have the highlighter tool and the Text input tool. Similarly, we have a filled box tool to remove something from the screen, and also we have a circle tool as well. Then we have the box tool to draw a square around something in the screen. Then we have the arrow tool which is extremely helpful if we want our viewers to focus on something in the screen. Next we have the line tool to underline certain lines or to just make straight lines in the screenshot. Flameshot Editingįirst we have the pencil tool to write anything we like and/or doodle away. This way we will not forget to edit the file later on. This is a very powerful integration as it allows for the editing right then. Flameshot GUIĪnd after you select an area the perimeter is surrounded by applets like the below figure to help you edit the screenshot then and there. We don’t always require taking the whole screen or both the monitors (if you are using multiple monitors like me).

In the GUI Mode a screen comes up for you to select the area for the screenshot and oftentimes that is all we need. The first mode is the gui mode and it is the best mode according to me (that is why I keybind it to this specific command). First let us go through the screenshot modes. FlameShot has in total 5 commands out of which 4 are modes for taking screenshots and the 5th one is to launch the configuration file.
