Use screenshot, the Xfce4 Screenshooter is part of the xfce-Goodies. It can capture areas as well as fullscreen and application windows.

    Note that by default, the "Print Screen" key on keyboard is configured as xfce4-screenshooter -f, where -f means fullscreen, bypassing the select region, active window or fullscreen options. Removing the -f on the default config makes the trick. – bistoco Sep 11 '16 at 02:40

    On top of @Jan answer, you need to configure Shift+Print shortcut and run the xfce4-screenshooter with the -r param. http://i.imgur.com/iLiUZHf.png – Tom Raganowicz Apr 21 '17 at 06:27

    I'm using a Manjaro 20.1 Xfce4 standard installation and there Ctrl-Shift-Print shortcuts by default to make screenshot of user specific area (the one with the cross-hair pointer), very helpful in my eyes – Hartmut Pfarr Aug 19 '20 at 18:35

    In Xubuntu XFCE 20.04, I found Shift+Print to be the default in the Settings for Keyboard for taking a screenshot by region. Here are all of the screenshot-related defaults as I see them from my installation: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ap0Ov.png – bgoodr Nov 16 '20 at 16:23
