Ubuntu Shortcut for Partial Screenshot to Clipboard

Normally Shift + PrintScreen initiates partial screenshot selection process but new keyboards don’t have Printscreen so here is a custom keyboard config:

System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts

gnome-screenshot -ac

-c, --clipboard
Send the grab directly to the clipboard.

-a, --area
Grab an area of the screen instead of the entire screen.

From now on you will see a target cursor whenever press your configured shortcut, mine is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S. After selecting an area your selection will be in your clipboard.
