### 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

<br>sudo apt install flameshot<br>

2. Make sure xbindkeys is installed

<br>sudo apt install xbindkeys xdotool<br>

3. Add these lines to the .xbindkeysrc file.
(.xbindkeysrc is in your home folder. If it's not there, create it.)

<br># Bind Flameshot to PrntScrn key<br>"flameshot gui"<br>Print<br>

4. Restart xbindkeys

<br>killall xbindkeys<br>xbindkeys<br>

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.
