Keyboard Shortcuts

Am working on a keyboard shortcuts list for Zorin. Found a good reference for Ubuntu:
https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-he ... tcuts.html

The following don't work:
Ctrl-Esc open Start Menu
Ctrl+Super+D close windows and show desktop
Print Screen all combinations (alt/shift)

In Gedit:
Alt+F open file menu
Ctrl+End select to end of line

Question: is this an Zorin problem (then I need help) or an Ubuntu/GEdit problem (then I find out myself).

I am running Zorin 8 Ultimate and Alt+ Shift works for me in respect of Screenshot - places screenshot inside Pictures folder of my '/home' :D

If you want to edit the menu you need to install 'alacarte' or you could install 'GnoMenu' separately from 'Zorin Menu'! :D

Thanks, and you're right (getting old): PrintScreen (full screen) and PrintScreen+Alt (window) both work perfectly. Only with PrintScreen+Shift (cut-out) I get a weird result.

Trying to attach original window and cut-out screenshot.

Anyway, I can live with it.

Sorry: incorrect filenames...

This is a screenshot of an entire window:

This is what I get using Shift+PrintScreen:

If you want instant whole screen, install 'Cairo-Dock' , log into Cairo-Dock DE from login screen and add 'Screenshot' on the Dock - as soon as you click it - wham - instantly taken! ;)
