Yeah, it's hard.
Honestly, in my humble opinion, the secure copy and paste keyboard
shortcuts should work with image data as well, not just text data. That
way the screenshot problem is solved -- I can screenshot in one VM, copy
directly from that app (usually Firefox), and paste in another VM at
will.
A solution discussed here some months ago: in dom0 have 2 files:
1.) screenshot.sh
#!/bin/bash
qvm-copy-to-vm $(zenity --entry --title='Send to VM' --text='Destination
VM') "${BASH_ARGV[@]}"

When I tried it, "Open with" just has an empty pull-down list. Is there
any additional step to do?
Why not just use the tool suggested by Eva Dogstar, the users own
developed tool, https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool, it
works fantastic. Check it out! It solve all of your screenshot
headaches. I would definitely vote to have it baked into the next Qubes
release.
The only 'problem' that I have, maybe Eva can answer, is after using the
tool it pops up a menu asking what you want to do with the screenshot.
If I don't make any selections my logic tells me the screenshot should
not be saved anywhere, as you specifically need to select to keep it in
dom0. But not selecting anything and clicking ok still saves the
screenshot to dom0.

[qubes-users] Getting to the bottom of screenshots in Qubes OS
Hi Everyone, Speaking with a colleague earlier today, I heard "Qubes is great, but the no screenshots problem makes it a 'hard' no for me". As a Qubes user and advocate, this stung. Surely, I thought, if clipboard can take copy+paste between Qubes, then it should be able to move screenshots? Requesting input on the following concept: - import screenshot.png allows you to take a screenshot from an x window. - qvm-run lets you launch apps in a specific VM from a command placed in dom0. - Using / Adding shortcuts on the panel achieves this by using the following syntax " qvm-run -q -a --service QUBE_NAME qubes.StartApp+AppName " Where: -q is quiet/non-verbose -a is autostart - Assigning that command under System Tools > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts works to launch it just fine. What is the syntax needed to launch "import" and how can I tell Dom0 to launch it in the Qube currently in focus? Is there any "current AppVM in focus" variable? Or does dom0 have no knowledge of this for security purposes? It seems unlikely to me. Also, what is the reason we can have global clipboard and qvm-move, but not a similar function for screenshots?
