Screenshot under Linux

There are several ways to take a screenshot under Linux. The easiest way is to use the “Print” key:

• If you only want to take a screenshot of the current window, press the [alt] + [Print] keys.
  • If you only want to save a specific area on your display, use the key combination [ctrl] + [alt] + [print].
  • By default, the pictures created in this way are saved in your personal user directory in the “Pictures” subfolder.
