### 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"
```
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.
