Mac OSX like screen capture with ksnapshot in KDE


ksnapshot is a nifty tool for capture windows and screens. However I don't want to click the menu , bring up ksnapshot and then select options in menu to do screen grab. I really liked the way it is done on Mac OSX. Press Command +4 and you have a rectangular screen grab.

So I tuned my ksnapshot to do the same on KDE desktop. command +4 should open a rectangular screen grab and command +P should open a full screen print.

ksnapshot can be called with --region or --fullscreen.
so all we need to do is to map above key combos against ksnapshot [ --region | --fullscreen]
Here is how to do it

KDE desktop | settings |  shortcust and gestures
