I frequently create material containing screenshots from computer. For ~15 years using Windows and Word it was Alt+PrintScreen -> Ctrl+V and the image was in place.

In Ubuntu similar result can be achieved in dozens of different ways/programs but none has similar ease.

Is there a way to get screenshot of active window to say LibreOffice Writer using few keyboard commands only?

This is in Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10.

Yes there is. Below I listed some shortcuts which are on Ubuntu 14.04 by default. Screenshots will be copied to clipboard automatically.

  • Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen = Active window
  • Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen = Selected area
  • Ctrl+PrintScreen = The whole screen
