Why we like it.
This is a great application to take screenshots.
- the editing feature is clean and works well.
- Screenshopts are autocopied to the clipboard.
- It can be run from the command line and therefore scripted and turned into shortcuts
- We use Meta + a to screenshot an areal
Install Shutter
It used to worok well from the normal package manager but now will no longer work.
You need to use the version from the PPA
- Install the PPA
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxuprising/shutter
- No need to use apt update anymore because starting Ubuntu 18.04, the repositories are automatically updated after adding a new entry.
- Now use the apt command to install Shutter:
sudo apt install shutter
That’s it. You should have Shutter screenshot tool installed. You can search for it in the menu and start from there.
