[SOLVED]How to change default screenshot tool and set hotkey

I want to change my default screenshot tool to "Shutter", and set a hotkey, ideally several including one for capture selected window, and also capture defined area.

I've been frustrated in my attempts. Can only find an easy way to change default programs for 6 basic functions like browser etc, and I tried keyboard settings creating custom shortcut (using "shutter -f" command as per online instructions for KDE) but it's not working.

Thanks for help

Hey it worked! I actually saw something about this somewhere else, but I thought it wouldn't work for me because I'm in KDE, not gnome. Glad it did.

Thanks!

Glad it worked out for you, just to point out, Zorin is primarily based on Gnome and not KDE!.

Have marked as solved.
