There are multiple different screenshot tools you can use. On 22.04 there should be a default and interactive screenshot utility.

Press the following key on your keyboard (or launch "take a screenshot" from the Activities menu):

PRINT = launch the screenshot utility

From here, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

S = Select area
C = Capture screen
W = Capture window
P = Toggle between show and hide pointer
V = Toggle between screenshot and screencast
ENTER = Capture, also activated by Space or Ctrl+C

You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts any time without first launching the screenshot utility:

ALT+PRINT = screenshot the current window

SHIFT+PRINT = clip a selection of the screen similar to snippet

CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+R = start or stop a screen video recording or "screencast"

Or you can use an alternative screenshot tool. If you are using the default Ubuntu desktop, you would probably want to use gnome-screenshot and you can either install it through the software center or you can run the following commands to install this app:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-screenshot

Then, look for gnome screenshot in your dash and launch the app. It will give you options like if you want to take a selection from the screen which is more like snippet or if you want to simply take an entire screenshot.

Aside from Gnome Screenshot, another good option is Kazam.

You can also use Gimp to take a screenshot. From Gimp, select **File** > **Create** > **Screenshot**.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
