I want to be able to press Ctrl+Shift+PrtScn - creates a partial screenshot - and save it automatically to file (to attach to email, etc...) ... Without installing a large application such as shutter or so.

Is there a quick way to do this?

Simply pressing shift+print should save it in a file in your ~/Picture folder.

Keys are here (System Setting -> Keyboard):

System Setting -> Keyboard

Notice that there is a little problem I have found a couple of time. The saved file is named something like Screenshot 2013-11-04 10:00:03.png. If you copy that file to a Dropbox folder (for example) or other shared folder with a Windows machine, it will not appear on the Windows side, because the colon : is a forbidden char in Windows filenames. So you have to rename it... for more deatils see: How can i change the default name for the screenshots made by gnome-screenshot?

Simply press printscr. I do it all the time on accident b/c it's right beside my backspace and delete keys :( it prompts you to save a picture of your desktop.
