[Bug 1131936] Re: gnome-screenshot makes it hard to take a screenshot using the keyboard

 

Confirmed in Ubuntu 2015.04, really annoying.

The ideal workflow would be:

1. Press `PrtSrc`
2. Type the filename
3. Press `Enter`

Right you have to press `Tab` 3 times between steps 2&3, which is not
ideal.

Title:
  gnome-screenshot makes it hard to take a screenshot using the keyboard

Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In just about any dialog box, you can press Enter to click the "main"
  button, or use Tab to set focus on a button, then press it using the
  space bar. In gnome-screenshot, the "Take Screenshot" button is
  highlighted as the "main"one - but you cannot click it using either
  Enter or space bar. This makes it difficult to take a screenshot
  without using the mouse (e.g., because something depends on the mouse
  location).

  Apparently, there's an Alt-S shortcut for it - but it's not exactly
  intuitive.
