I want to make a kb shortcut to open the app like I do on windows 10 and so I need to put the name of the app for it to be opened in the terminal, but I can't seem to find the name of the app.
By screenshot app I mean the app that opens when I press the super key. By name I mean like I write nautilus on terminal to open it.
In Ubuntu versions older than 22.04 with GNOME, the terminal name for built-in screenshot application was gnome-screenshot.
In Ubuntu version 22.04 and higher with GNOME, there is no terminal name for new built-in screenshot application, because gnome-screenshot package was removed from the default installation and the screenshot tool was integrated with the gnome-shell package. It probably can't be invoked from terminal as far as I know.
In Kubuntu with KDE, the terminal name for built-in screenshot application is spectacle.
If you'd like, in GNOME you can install the older screenshot application back using this command:
sudo apt install gnome-screenshot
Or you can install other cool screenshot applications like:
sudo apt install scrot
sudo apt install flameshot
sudo apt install kde-spectacle
Then you can set your own custom keyboard shortcuts to launch the screenshot commands of your choice (the path below is for GNOME, adjust for KDE):
Settings → Keyboard → View and Customize Shortcuts → Custom Shorcuts → + → type the name of the command and add the keyboard shortcut for it.
Example commands to set for keyboard shortcuts:
scrot "/home/$USER/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.png"
gnome-screenshot -c -f ~/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_$(date +"%0y%0m%0d_%0H%0M%0S").png
flameshot full --path ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ # command to take a screenshot of full screen and save it to the specified location
spectacle --fullscreen --background --output "/home/$USER/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot from $(date +"%F %H-%M-%S").png"
