Not sure how to do the same in Lubuntu 15.04. ? Is this thing prossible or I have to live with default option of scrot printscreen that images are silently saved in a directory, when i press printscreen, without any popup or screen.

Here is the way to change keyboard shortcuts in Lubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard#Create_New_Keyboard_shortcuts Open lubuntu-rc.xml in your favorite editor.. (Mine its vim, it could be leafpad/vi/nano ) 

  `sudo vim ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml`

then find the following code.. 

<keybind key="Print">
           <action name="Execute">
           <command>lxsession-default screenshot</command> 
           </action>
 </keybind>

Comment out <command>lxsession-default screenshot</command> and add <command>shutter -f</command> .. (or just you can replace, instead of commenting, but I prefer doing so)

<keybind key="Print">
       <action name="Execute">
       <!-- <command>lxsession-default screenshot</command> -->
       <command>shutter -f</command>
       </action>
 </keybind>

And also you can replace ( Alt + Print ) option by changing to this shutter -a in the following manner.. 

<keybind key="A-Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <!--<command>lxsession-default screenshot window</command> -->
        <command>shutter -a</command>
      </action>
 </keybind>

Then reload openbox 

openbox --reconfigure

Rest are same as this
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!!
