Hi!
Something I use almost daily and.. nothing happens now. Is there a replacement shortcut or a way to enable it back?
Thank you.
Fred

That's a scary thought. ;)
I had to spin up an f36 live image to see for myself. I use Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen a good bit (to select an area and copy it to the clipboard rather than saving it).
I _think_ the options are all still avaiable, but the UI for it is different, as are the various keyboard shortcuts.
By default, Shift+PrintScreen takes a screenshot, saving it to ~/Pictures/Screenshots and copying it to the clipboard without any prompting.
PrintScreen brings up an interactive dialog which allows you to do what the various modifier keys used to do (e.g.: a screenshot of a selection, a window, or the full screen).
https://release.gnome.org/42/#new-screenshot-experience lists the various keyboard controls for use within the screenshot UI.
It appears that screenshots are now saved and copied to the clipboard. That will save some extra screenshots I don't need, but it's probably not a problem.
On the plus side, when I accidentally hit the PrintScreen key now, I won't save a screenshot unintentionally. I manage to do that more often than I'd like, so this might be a welcome change, once my muscle memory adapts to it. :)

Thank you, didn't see that link. Now that doesn't really fit my needs as I liked the (partial) screenshot saved automatically, avoiding to open a imaging application to get back the clipboard. I'll spare everyone the rant over great simple things going away...
Who knows maybe we'll get back a way to have SHIFT+PrintScreen in GNOME 48, who knows?
Thanks!

There is an application called spectacle that takes screenshots. In the configuration, there is a way to set keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps you can adapt it to do what you want?

Thank you. Wasn't aware of that, will install and play with it then.

Stupid me, found it: simply PrintScreen key now brings up a graphical menu with a lot of options. Any body knows if it's possible to get back that Shift+PrintScreen and go directly to the selection and save automatically? That was working so well....
Thanks.

It was working spectacularly. The new UI-assisted behavior with `Prt Sc` triples the amount of keystrokes/mouse clicks for the same outcome. I was an hourly user of the `Shift` + `Ctrl` + `Prt Sc` shortcut: simple and minimal. This "enhancement" actually harms productivity. Would it be possible to have the old `Shift` + `Ctrl` + `Prt Sc` back and keep the new `Prt Sc` behavior in place? I concede there may be users who like it.
