I tried it my self.... Here are the steps..
Disable gnome printscreen shotcuts .. (All Settings--->Keyboard---->Screenshots
)
Next create shortcuts as preferred (All Settings--->Keyboard---->Custom shortcuts
)
Shutter -f
And assign printscreen key. ( See more for how to assign a custom key ) How to add keyboard shortcuts?
And next shortcut for shutter -a
And assign alt key and printscreen ( See more for how to assign a custom key ) How to add keyboard shortcuts?
Then open shutter and go to menu (Edit--->preference--->main
)
Select Do not save file automatically
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At this point you have achieve main screen by pressing printscreen button or Alt + printscreen button..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To open edit windows, instead of main screen, when ressing printscreen button or Alt + printscreen button, go to Actions in preference and select open with Built-in Editor
And make sure other settings remain as below in behavior section,
Done!!
After an hour of googling and trying, I've found a workaround to this weird problem. Install and run CompizConfig Settings Manager
:
sudo apt-get install ccsm
ccsm
Click Commands
in General
category. Ensure the module is activated. Add your custom command on the first tab and set a shortcut on the second one. I set the same command (shutter
with options) and the same key (Print
) as I'd set before in "regular" system settings. Now the command began to be run instantly.

You can try changing it via
System Settings → Hardware / Keyboard → Shortcuts → Screenshots → Take a screenshot
To disable the shortcut, click the row so that it shows "New accelerator" as shown below and then press the backspace key.
