[SOLVED]PrtSc key doesn't work in archlinux

hello everyone
I use "PrtSc" key on my keyboard to take screenshots.
In ubuntu it saves my screenshots in pictures directory.
but in arch I do not know if it is taking screenshots or not. it doesn't show any animations.
so how can i take screenshots with "PrtSc" key?

Well, what's the shortcut bound to?
IOW: what desktop environment do you use and if the answer is "none", you'll have to bind the shortcut yourself (for me it makes the sound of an aperture and runs scrot to save a screenshot in /tmp, but there're MAAAAAANY screenshot applications available)

I have been using the plasma desktop for quite some time - the prt sc key does take a screenshot, using 'spectacle' and I did not have to configure the prt sc key.  Spectacle can be configured to take screenshots with different formats for windows and cursor etc.
