Try using the combination PrintScr or Alt+PrintSc.

If this don't work, use Shutter and configure the "Preferences > Advanced > Capture > Include cursor" options

enjoy!

    For me it's always the default mouse cursor shown on the screenshot.

  • This does creates a "snapshot" sound in Gome, but it doesn't appear to do anything else. There's no file generated...

  • @Cerin please, review the folder ~ or ~/pictures as explained in the official documentation help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/…

Try: gnome-screenshot -p

From the help: -p, --include-pointer Include the pointer with the screenshot

    Note that this doesn't seem to work with a text select cursor, it just appears as a regular cursor.

  • @DanielImms Moreover, it always only displays a regular cursor.

  • Since you might be trying to take a screenshot of something other than the terminal window in which you issue the command, try the following to give you time to place the cursor: sleep 5 && gnome-screenshot -p

Just found this:

[ubuntu] Screenshot include mouse pointer? - ubuntuforums.org

Start gconf-editor and check /apps/gnome-screenshot/include_pointer

Seems to work for me with PrintScreen -> gnome-screenshot ...
