Yes. My recommendation is Screenshot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Screenshot
In terminal: sudo apt-get install gnome-screenshot

Just push and hold the power button for a few seconds…
(And there is, of course, the pre-installed Screenshot app - with the little camera icon. And the Screen recording app just next to it.)

You should update your phone then. It works with recent updates.

sudo apt install librem5-goodies
It installs a screenshot app and a recording app with icons on app grid.

On an up-to-date system you can hold the power-button for 2 or 3 seconds that let appear a new widget on screen with a “Screenshot” button. But it saves into RAM, not into your system, so you need another app to paste and save it. That’s what wimdows was trying to say.

Yeh - I finally got to see this widget - and finally realized it has screen shot - but was really buffled by where does it keep it?

Does it do anything other than these two apps?

You mean where’s the taken screenshot? As I told, just a copy on clipboard that has to be pasted in any image editing app to save it. That’s why screenshot app from librem5-goodies is a way better.

Look here. Those are temporary scripts which will be removed once those functionalities are build in by default in Phosh.

Yes, of course, they are not pre-installed, but part of the goodies.
