I use MATE as desktop viewer. How can I add a shortcut for taking a screenshot of a part of the windows and copy it to the clipboard? Basically what with gnome the command control-shift-stamp.

Ok, found out: gnome-screenshot -a -c Press gnome-shortcut --help for more commands. – matteo Sep 9 '13 at 18:59

I found out the solution. First, open the shortcut dialog window and press add to add a new shortcut. Then paste this code:

gnome-screenshot -a -c

For other useful gnome-screenshot command, from the terminal: gnome-screenshot --help

It would be good for other readers, if you accept your own answer (see Can I answer my own question?). – David Foerster Mar 17 '15 at 18:23

Or just search your "shortcuts" config and look for it. In my case it is Ctrl+Shift+Print_Screen

Could you provide a screenshot of this? (Or a little more detail?) – RolandiXor♦ Mar 17 '15 at 15:29
    
Just open settings, and into keyboard you find something like this: i.stack.imgur.com/z1xXQ.png – Soldeplata Saketos Candela Jun 7 '16 at 14:09
