So I'm trying to use shift + print screen to take a partial screenshot of a page but it only does a full page shot. I didn't have this issue before and i am not sure how to remedy the situation. i used the command gnome-screenshot -a but the problem i have with that is I cant move the terminal page out the way to take the shot.

Does ctrl+shift work? I'm on debian now, but both key combinations do the same work. – schrodingerscatcuriosity Apr 06 '21 at 15:11

First try restarting your computer. If it doesn't fix itself, then you can see the keyboard shortcuts in Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and edit those.
Shortcut for taking screenshot of an area is listed under Screenshots
You can change it to your choice by clicking on it and then pressing your new "key action" and then clicking set.
Hope his fixes your issue.

1I had the same question, thanks for the answer. It appears that Ubuntu 22.04 swapped the default shortcuts, so printscreen is bound to the interactive screenshot, whereas shift+printscreen does the entire screen. Perhaps the reasoning is the user might want the interactive screenshot more often. – supersolver Feb 12 '24 at 02:08
