To set a custom keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot with ksnip, use the main command
ksnip followed by specific arguments in your system's custom shortcut settings.
The command arguments allow for various capture modes:

ksnip -r: Capture a rectangular area.
ksnip -f: Capture the full screen.
ksnip -m: Capture the current monitor (or multiple monitors).
ksnip -a: Capture the active window (requires the window to be focused).
ksnip -u: Capture the last used rectangular area.

How to set the shortcut (General Steps for Linux)

Open your system's settings for Keyboard Shortcuts (e.g., in KDE it's "System Settings > Shortcuts" or "Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts" in Gnome).
Add a new custom shortcut (sometimes called "Custom Command" or "Custom Shortcut").
Assign the desired keyboard combination, such as the Print Screen key or Ctrl + Shift + S, to one of the ksnip commands listed above (e.g., ksnip -r).
Ensure ksnip is running in the background for global hotkeys to work consistently. You can configure ksnip to start with your operating system for seamless use.
Disable any conflicting shortcuts from other screenshot tools (like Spectacle or the default Gnome screenshot tool) that might be using the same key combination.

Additional useful arguments

-c: Copies the screenshot to the clipboard automatically after capture.
-s: Saves the screenshot to a predefined location automatically.
-e: Opens the captured screenshot directly in the ksnip editor for annotation.

For example, the command ksnip -r -c -s will allow you to select a rectangular area and automatically copy it to the clipboard and save it to your default folder.
