Issue with Disabling "Take a Screenshot" App in GNOME on Ubuntu 24.04
by shvprasad100 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PKGG)
I've encountered an issue with the "Take a Screenshot" app in GNOME on Ubuntu 24.04. Despite disabling all associated keybindings using gsettings, the app still appears when searching for keywords like "snipping tool," "snap," and "screen."
Steps Taken:
Disabling Keybindings:
bash
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings screenshot "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings screenshot-window "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings show-screenshot-ui "[]"
Blocking Execution:
bash
sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot.bak
Restarting GNOME Shell:
Pressed Alt+F2, typed r, and pressed Enter.
Also tried rebooting the system.
Rebuilding GNOME Application Cache:
bash
sudo update-desktop-database
Persistent Issue:
Despite these efforts, the "Take a Screenshot" app still appears in the GNOME search menu when using keywords such as "snipping tool," "snap," and "screen."
