How to Take Screenshot in Linux(All distros including Kali)
Taking a screenshot on Linux isn't quite a s straightforward as it is on
Windows or OS X. This is because there is no universal screenshot
utility installed in Linux. It is up to the distribution to include a
screenshot function. Luckily, most do include at least one program that
can take a screenshot, and there are more available if you don't have
one installed.
Using Gnome Screenshot:
The PrtScn
key does not work as a shortcut in all Linux distributions, but it
works in most GNOME desktop environments such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
If this section doesn't work, try one of the following methods.
1.
Press .PrtScn to take a full-screen screenshot.
The screenshot will show everything in your display. You will be
prompted to select where you would like to save the screenshot file.
- The Print Screen key is located at the top of the keyboard, usually between F12 and ScrLk. It may be labeled "Print Screen", "PrtScn", "PrntScrn", or something else similar.
Press .⇧ Shift+PrtScn to select what you capture. You'll be able to click and drag a selection box to determine what is captured in the screenshot. A file with the image you captured will be created in your Pictures folder.
3.
Press .Alt+PrtScn to take a screenshot of a window. This shortcut will create a screenshot of your active window. The file will be created in your Pictures folder.
Open the Screenshot utility. The Gnome Screenshot
utility allows you to perform some additional screenshot functions, such
as adding a delay. You can find the Screenshot utility in the
Accessories folder of your Applications menu.
