42 +== How to take screenshots ==
43 +
44 +Ubuntu 24 provides several convenient keyboard shortcuts for capturing screenshots:
45 +
46 +=== Keyboard Shortcuts ===
47 +
48 +{{{
49 + }}}
50 +
51 +|=Shortcut|=Action
52 +|PrtScn|Capture entire desktop
53 +|Alt + PrtScn|Capture active window only
54 +|Shift + PrtScn|Capture selected area
55 +|Ctrl + PrtScn|Copy screenshot to clipboard
56 +
57 +=== How to Use Area Selection ===
58 +
59 +1. Press Shift + PrtScn
60 +1. Your cursor changes to a crosshair
61 +1. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture
62 +1. Release to take the screenshot
63 +
64 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-22 10-16-28.png||height="250"]]
65 +
66 +Easy to take screenshots of the full Desktop, only the active window or just an area. In area mode your cursor turns into a crosshair and you have to mark the area you want to take a screen of.
67 +
68 +In the above picture i used alt+print, for the following i used shift+print, so you see its just an area:

71 +
72 +
73 +== How to change colors in terminal ==
74 +
75 +In the Terminal click on "Edit" → "Preferences". A new window opens and there you click on the tab "Profiles". After this click on "Edit" to change the used profile:
76 +
77 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-22 10-18-49.png||height="250"]]
78 +
79 +In the tab "Colors" you can change the colors from system themed to your own favorite:
80 +
81 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-22 10-19-13.png||height="250"]]
82 +
83 +In my case on my computer i use green text and black background with a much more colored stuff [[image:http://confluence.desy.de/s/en_US/7901/4635873c8e185dc5df37b4e2487dfbef570b5e2c/_/images/icons/emoticons/smile.svg||border="0" title="(smile)" class="emoticon emoticon-smile"]]
84 +
85 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-24 09-06-40.png||height="112"]]
86 +
87 +(One can edit some coloring-the-terminal stuff in the .bashrc, too! But this isn't the topic in here [[image:http://confluence.desy.de/s/en_US/7901/4635873c8e185dc5df37b4e2487dfbef570b5e2c/_/images/icons/emoticons/smile.svg||border="0" title="(smile)" class="emoticon emoticon-smile"]])
88 +
89 +
90 +== How to run the Shell as a login shell ==
91 +
92 +In the editing Profile Windows (see picture above) click on the Tab "Command" and check the "Run command as a login shell":
93 +
94 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-22 10-19-44.png||height="250"]]
95 +
96 +To see if you are running with or without login you can use the command "echo $0":
97 +
98 +[[image:attach:Screenshot from 2020-01-22 10-20-29.png]]
99 +
100 +The "-" implicates that it is a login shell. At example you need the login shell to use all your own variables. If you just change user etc. without it, it may happen that - at example - you don't have permissions to geht dconf work because of some variables still got owned by the previous user.
101 +
102 +
103 +== Additional Tips ==
104 +
105 +==== Terminal Best Practices ====
106 +
107 +* Use Ctrl + C to cancel running commands
108 +* Use Ctrl + Z to suspend processes (resume with fg)
109 +* Use history to view command history
110 +* Use Tab for auto-completion
111 +
112 +==== File System Navigation ====
113 +
114 +* Use pwd to show current directory
115 +* Use ls -la for detailed file listings
116 +* Use cd - to return to previous directory
117 +
118 +==== Getting Help ====
119 +
120 +* Use man <command> for manual pages

122 +* Use apropos <keyword> to find related commands
