### Flameshot Screenshot Tool

(Applies to All Desktop Environments)

>Bind Flameshot to your "PrntScrn" Button.

Flameshot is a better screenshot tool than the screenshot tools that typically come with distros by default.

## Debian Based

To make Flameshot your default screenshot tool on Debain based distros, follow these steps.

1. Install flameshot

```

sudo apt install flameshot

```

2. Make sure xbindkeys is installed

```

sudo apt install xbindkeys xdotool

```

3. Add these lines to the .xbindkeysrc file.

(.xbindkeysrc is in your home folder. If it's not there, create it.)

```

# Bind Flameshot to PrntScrn key

"flameshot gui"

Print

```

4. Restart xbindkeys

```

killall xbindkeys

xbindkeys

```

5. Add xbindkeys to startup applications.

(This varies between

desktop environments.)

## Additional Steps for Cinnamon Desktop

6. If you are using Cinnamon, you need to change the "Take a Screenshot" keyboard shortcut to something else, such as Alt+End so Cinnamon's doesn't override xbindkeys' Print key.
