• Community: Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.
• anon: I have xfce in Kali 2022.3 and it is somewhat different than you show. There are other Keyboard print shortcuts. Did an update cause a conflict? Can you use a different keyboard shortcut.

Answer 1

Kali xfce uses Printscreen (Shift Print) for Screen shot.

You should use a different shortcut key to launch flameshot.gui.

An update likely changed the xfce usage for Printscreen.

Xfce Keyboard Shortcuts

• zaru: i tried to use a different shortcut ("ctrl-alt-t") and did not work, actually i think none of the shortcuts work
• anon: Try reinstalling flamethrower and restart to see if that works. xfce can launch shortcuts via the screen above.
• anon: Also, run the general Linux cleanup. ..... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
