I had an Ubuntu update, and my "screenshot" option is not the same as it used to be. I used to press SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN, and then a menu asking me where I want to save my images appeared (the specific menu that used to appear is shown in the image below)

Shift+prt sc

Now this menu does not appear. SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN still works, but the above menu asking where I want to save my screenshot does not appear.

How do I get this functionality back?

By the way - I know that I can use "screenshot" from my command line, or that I can start that "screenshot" plugin, but I specifically liked this amazing sequence: PRT SCRN, then that specific menu asking where I want to save it pops up....

Here is the Ubuntu info after update: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic

It seems they changed the way screenshots are managed, you can check the shortcuts in Settings -> Device -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Screenshots.

To have the screenshot menu back you can create a new custom shortcut (again from Keyboard Shortcuts) and put as command the following line:

gnome-screenshot -i

Open keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts , at "search", input "print", and you can see some different actions for "snapshot save to pictures" and "copy snapshot to clipboard"

Just change this shortcut.
