Hi there,
I come from Ubuntu and have so far been very pleased with Arch. However, one tool I can not recover is the easy tool that I had in Ubuntu (Gnome?) to hit PRT SCREEN and have an application open that allowed me to SAVE SCREENSHOT right away. Very convenient. And there was a whole dedicated screenshot application that also allowed me to take partial screenshots.
Whenever I search for this I get tutorials on HOW to take screenshots...
Can anybody help out?
Thanks!

The wiki has a list of some tools which have the features you request. As for binding to Print Screen, that depends on your WM/DE.
Edit: Also, don't forget to search the AUR.

Just to ease your search, scrot is a very popular command line screenshot utility amongst Archers.
It is bound to PrtScr (key "W-Print") in my openbox system and proved quite useful that way.
But there are numerous other tools available. Just have a look at the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ta … Screenshot
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

if you're using gnome as you desktop environment, you'll need to sync "gnome-utils" to get the screenshot tool
and "metacity" should be still necessary for the "prt sc" button to work, otherwise you'll have to make certain setting changes using dconf-editor

Just for the sake of helping usher you into the Arch community, I have to ask: have you bothered looking up what Ubuntu's default screenshot application is?

Ubuntu uses gnome-screenshot (the Gnome 2 version), at least it did when I used it, doubt it's changed. I personally use scrot bound to my printscreen key, it just saves a screenshot into my home folder, simple. We can't help you map the keybindings though unless we know what DE/WM you use, but just look it up yourself in the Wiki on the page of your WM, it should be there.
