xfce4-screenshooter -m wont capture mouse pointer

[remoteone]

Whilst this issue with the screenshooter is solved, It still is limited in the behind the scenes, and other screen capture apps are also either limited or over complicated in other ways, so the search continues...
Thanks all for the help, the solutions are always simple when you know how.
I'm finding things a bit back-to-front coming from w7, but w10 is not an option (its malware).

This topic is "xfce4-screenshooter -m wont capture mouse pointer" and that's working, The specific problem you asked for help with is indeed solved. If you want suggestions regarding the ideal screen capture tool for Linux I suggest you start another topic for that. (I'm just saying.)

Specifically, "Ideal screen capture tool" for someone who wants to use a keyboard shortcut/hotkey and needs mouse cursor to be displayed.

Definitely needs a separate thread of its own or it will be lost in here.

Agreed..

I searched for a screenshot in which the mouse pointer is captured and found empirically this solution for my laptop (Lenovo T 470):
"AltGr + Print"
starts the screenshooter GUI in which you can choose "Capture the mouse pointer" and other things.
