KSnapshot is a screenshot application for the KDE desktop environment developed by Richard J. Moore, Matthias Ettrich and Aaron J. Seigo.^[1] The screenshots taken by KSnapshot are also called snapshots, which explains its name. It is written in Qt and C++. KSnapshot allows users to use hotkeys^[2] to take a screenshot.

In December 2015, KSnapshot has been replaced by Spectacle.^[3]

Features[]

KSnapshot has the following features:^[1]

• Save snapshot in multiple formats
• Take new snapshot
• Open with... possibility to open snapshot in external editor.
• Copy to clipboard
• Several capture modes, including selected region or single window.
• Snapshot delay

Ksnapshot also had a direct-to-print button but it was removed in version KDE 3.5.

Spectacle[]

Spectacle

Spectacle replaced KSnapshot with the release of KDE Applications 15.12 in December 2015.

In addition to what one could do with KSnapshot, Spectacle can take composite screenshots of pop-up menus along with their parent windows. Other feature is the ability to take screenshots without explicitly starting Spectacle by using the keyboard shortcuts ⇧ Shift+PrintScreen and Meta+PrintScreen respectively. Spectacle was optimized to start fast to minimize the time lag between starting the application and capturing the image.
