Gnome-Screenshot GUI: Which command launches that?

rated 0 times [ 14] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 7837 / 1 Year ago, thu, january 19, 2023, 2:45:10

I'm interested in setting up a keyboard shortcut that will launch the graphical user interface for Gnome Screenshot. I am however unable to find the command that launches the GUI.

Executing gnome-screenshot simply takes a screenshot, which is not what I am interested in.

You may look for interactive mode

man gnome-screenshot

  -i, --interactive

          Interactively set options in a dialog.

Use:

gnome-screenshot -i

More generally, to get command for a GUI launcher in menu, look for its .desktop file. Example:

more /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop

Where we see:

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Screenshot

Comment=Save images of your screen or individual windows

(...)

Exec=gnome-screenshot --interactive  # <-- here it is!

(...)

Or use MenuLibre tool.

_{Update: As of v41 (November 2021), the path to the .desktop file for Gnome Screenshot was changed from /usr/share/applications/gnome-screenshot.desktop in the original answer.}
