originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/625518

See: http://kedarm.posterous.com/ubuntu-linux-adding-a-shortcut-to-take-screen

I was looking for a keyboard combination to take screenshot of a specific selection. This is not available by default. We have Print (PrtScr) and Alt+Print (PrtScr) to mean either take the screenshot of an entire desktop or that of a Window currently in focus.

Basically, I am asking for a keyboard shortcut that is equivalent of "Cmd+Shift+4" on a Mac that takes the screenshot (brings the crosswires to select an area) of a selection. I'd suggest we make the default Ctrl+Alt+Print (similar to Print and Alt+Print).
