Perhaps related: "gnome-screenshot -a -c" does NOT copy to clipboard, though it looks like it does, but when Ctrl-V is used the screenshot isn't there.

It changed to just PrtScn in GNOME 42. So whether or not the old key combination should still work is a matter of opinion. Already reported upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5447

I think it's still a valid enhancement since shortcuts are meant to provide shortcuts. We can keep it open while the upstream bug is open: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5447
