Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/screen-shot-record.html.en#keyboard-shortcuts
doesn't reflect recent changes in ubuntu 22.04 where the behaviour of "print screen" key functionality got swapped:

    Print Screen to take a screenshot of the desktop.
    Alt+Print Screen to take a screenshot of a window.
    Shift+Print Screen to take a screenshot of an area you select.

should change to:

    Print to open an HUD with an area selector. Then click in the small white cicle to fullfill the screenshot.
    Alt+Print Screen to take a screenshot of a window.
    Shift+Print Screen Screen to take a screenshot of the desktop.

Thanks for your report.

You are right, that page does not reflect the latest changes to the screenshot experience. But the page has recently been updated upstream, and the updated page will be included in the 22.10 documentation.

I thought the gnome version might be available to view, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't remember their development directory name, but, after many failed attempts, finally found the "unstable" directory:

but it seems to be the old version.
