Bug Description
When you hit Print Screen it defaults to printing the whole screen. If you type Alt+Print Screen then it prints only the active window. The thing is, I didn't know that Alt+Print Screen prints the active window until I was filing this bug report. It would be helpful if when the dialog popped up asking you to save it, it gave you the option of taking a screenshot only of the active window (for the many of us who don't read the documentation first).

thank you for your bug report, you have a menu item you can use if you don't know how the shortcuts are working and which open the dialog which let you choose how to screenshot, adding an extra step for people who know what they are doing would be really annoying, we are not going to change the default
