Describe your suggestion

In the 5th assignment "Taking screenshot" the resource does not mention on how to take screenshots in Ubuntu, So some instructions at the bottom of it or somewhere else in the lesson might be helpful like (Suggested by @mathdebate09)

• Shift + Prnt Scrnallows you to print a selection of the screen.
• Print Screen alone will take a screenshot.

These shortcuts can be customised at: (Change these if your Keyboard doesn't have Print Screen key)

Settings>Keyboard>View & Customise shortcuts>Screenshots

Adding a link on how-to screenshots might be a bit too much, if it's necessary to add guide we can have

• Shift + Prnt Scrn allows you to print a selection of the screen.
• Print Screen alone will take a screenshot.

You do have a point, That should be sufficient enough.

Adding a link on how-to screenshots might be a bit too much, if it's necessary to add guide we can have

* `Shift + Prnt Scrn` allows you to print a selection of the screen.

* `Print Screen` alone will take a screenshot.

Disagree that this is sufficient. Anyone using a keyboard smaller than TKL will probably not have a print screen key, making these instructions useless. We'll need some way to have the instructions work no matter what keyboard the learner may be using.

Another alternative solution would be to search for the keyboard settings, and configure your own shortcut for the screenshots, like Ctrl + Alt + S

I didn't think consider that, Thanks for pointing it out. Like @mathdebate09 said we can add the location to the keyboard shortcuts so they can be customised however they like.

@JoshDevHub, what do you think of this solution? If we agree on this approach and no one is assigned, I can make the pull request, thanks.

Apologies for letting this go stale.

Are you still interested in submitting a PR for this @theSamyak ? I think that solution could work great!
