Shutter is an amazing screenshot taker and annotator.

To install it successfully, you have to install two packages:

sudo apt-get install shutter libgoo-canvas-perl

Note: That second package is to allow editing and annotation

You are done with the installation now.

Next, you need to assign the shortcuts to the keyboard (like PrintScrn for example):

• Open Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts
• Add custom shortcut (we will add 2):
  1. For full screen screenshots, give it any name, e.g. “shutter” and make the command “shutter -f”. Then double click on keyboard bindings to assign a keyboard shortcut of your choice (in my case I used PrntScrn)
  2. For Active Window screenshots, give it any name, e.g. “shutter-window” and make the command “shutter -a”. Then double click on keyboard bindings to assign a keyboard shortcut of your choice (in my case I used Shift+PrntScrn)
• Enjoy!
