gnome-screenshot makes it hard to take a screenshot using the keyboard

[Dima Ryazanov]

In just about any dialog box, you can press Enter to click the "main" button, or use Tab to set focus on a button, then press it using the space bar. In gnome-screenshot, the "Take Screenshot" button is highlighted as the "main"one - but you cannot click it using either Enter or space bar. This makes it difficult to take a screenshot without using the mouse (e.g., because something depends on the mouse location).

Apparently, there's an Alt-S shortcut for it - but it's not exactly intuitive.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirmed in Ubuntu 2015.04, really annoying.

The ideal workflow would be:

1. Press `PrtSrc`
2. Type the filename
3. Press `Enter`

Right you have to press `Tab` 3 times between steps 2&3, which is not ideal.
