Print Screen key is asking questions before screenshot

Hello,
When I hit the PrintScreen key (PrtSc / Sys Rq) beside "F12" I have this window appearing, with no real option/preferences
ksnip_20250115-124914.jpg
I would like when I hit that Print screen key on my keyboard that it take a full screenshot immediately, instead of asking me questions, I'm ok it asks where to save after taking the screenshot, but not asking questions when hitting the PrtScr key (on Ubuntu-MATE it looked like a very similar screenshot software that this one, but it was taking screenshot when hitting that screenshot key without asking questions before screenshoting
)
how / where do I need to go to set those preferences?

Have you tried changing the delay to 0. I'm on fluxbox right now, so I can't check.

This is likely no help directly, but I changed to shutter for my screenshots, and then changed the command to
to autostart it on the select window screen (it can be made to start with just taking the standard screenshot as well).
Maybe there is something available like this for the default screenshot program.

Not working, the window still showing up with questions but with the delay set to zero
Thank you

I don't really understand, sorry, are you using terminal to screenshot?

I put that under the printscreen key.
Menu, type keyboard in the search, and then Application Shortcuts tab.

I noticed your screenshot of taking a screenshot
is made with ksnip, and as you are already using ksnip, note that it has good options for many kinds of screenshot taking - when you need to add informative annotations on the fly, but also for immediate, fast screen grabbing with no dialogs. For the printscreen key, I'm using:
which captures the screen where the mouse cursor is currently located, and immediately saves the picture to the default location (my home directory in this case), without showing an editor or any further dialogs.
For Super + Shift + S (Windows default shortcut for this type of action :-P ), I have
which lets me select a rectangular area, then immediately captures it and shows it in the - very nice - built-in editor (for annotations and such). In the actual ksnip program settings (Options > Settings) I have all tray icon, "keep loaded" type of functionality turned off, and ksnip only does its thing when taking a screenshot.

It needs to know if you are wanting to take a full screen screenshot, window screenshot or select an area screenshot.
You didn't post your Quick System Information, so I'm not sure where to point you to the keyboard shortcuts.

Hello PixLab
Eadwine Rose, "type keyboard"
Whoa..., thank you so very much, you have no idea what you did to me with that tip
First your keyboard tip worked like a charm
, but I have a multimedia keyboard with some fancy "keys" not working like the "Calculator" (because it was calling "calculator" instead of "galculator" ), media, My Computer, etc..., now because of your explanations, they work, I was able to give them a shortcut
Again thank you very much!

Thank you I understood now, BTW "Shutter" is very nice, thanks a lot for the discovery/recommendation

Sadly I did broke Ksnip while I was trying the KDE DE, and sudo apt purge ksnip did nothing, I lost the tool bar on the side, install-re-install does noting, still no tools on the side.
In all case thank you very much for the tips and infos, that's
