The keyboard shortcuts PrtScr (copy full screen to clipboard) and Alt-PrtScr (copy active window to clipboard) are not available in Lubuntu/LXQt, although they are extremely useful.
Here's a recipe for settling them up.
First, install "scrot" and "xclip" (it's very likely that they are already installed).
Open Preferences -> LXQt Settings -> Shortcut Keys from the Applications Menu.
Check if PrtScr ("Print") and Alt-PrtScr ("Print Window") shortcuts are already present (they probably aren't). Otherwise create them.
Assign this command to the PrtScr shortcut: sh -c 'scrot -o /tmp/clip_$(id -u) -e 'xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png < $f''
Do the same for Alt-PrtScr using: sh -c 'scrot -o -u /tmp/clip_$(id -u) -e 'xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png < $f''
Now you can paste the latest PrtScr screenshot into any graphics or LibreOffice program. Even "Ctrl-V" will work.
The PrtScr shortcut command will create the file /tmp/clip_"UID" (eg, /tmp/clip_1001), this will disappear after each reboot and will be overwritten with each new screenshot.
COMMENT:
The reason for including the UID in the filename instead of just naming the screenshot file "/tmp/clip" is due to file ownership/permissions. When changing user (logout...login), the "/tmp/clip" file still exists with the previous user:group attributes and cannot be modified/overwritten by the new user.
