Finally I can take screenshots easily on Linux! (Yes, it's always been possible, but I now realized how to do it)
I downloaded the software maim and bound it to a key combination.
When I press super + s now I can draw a rectangle and a screenshot of that will automatically be copied to my clipboard.
That's perfect as I can then paste it in Zettlr easily.
No more trying to save graphs and tables from pdfs, welcome to my life screenshot utility!
I tried all comobations of alt, ctrl, shift, "windows key" + s, but it doesn't work. I don't know what the "super key" is.

Just a simple software to take screenshots.
Not full of features, but it's perfect for me since I generally just want to take a clip from a pdf as quickly as possible.

Super is the windows key.
I have setup a custom key binding; it is not the default behaviour.
When I press those keys, the following command is run "maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png"
You can run it from the terminal as well, but having it bound to key presses makes it much more immediate.

Nevermind. I found maim -- a commandline screenshot utility.

Cool! Didn't know about that, still I think the method I found is superior since I don't have to press any other button: I just press the keys and draw the rectangle without any other step required
