Try using the combination PrintScr or Alt+PrintSc.

If this don't work, use Shutter and configure the "Preferences > Advanced > Capture > Include cursor" options

enjoy!

3For me it's always the default mouse cursor shown on the screenshot. – dbalakirev – 2015-05-17T09:31:18.563

This does creates a "snapshot" sound in Gome, but it doesn't appear to do anything else. There's no file generated... – Cerin – 2016-05-16T04:35:30.977

@Cerin please, review the folder ~ or ~/pictures as explained in the official documentation https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/screen-shot-record.html.en

Try: gnome-screenshot -p

From the help: -p, --include-pointer Include the pointer with the screenshot

1Note that this doesn't seem to work with a text select cursor, it just appears as a regular cursor. – Daniel Imms – 2015-11-20T04:46:34.783

@DanielImms Moreover, it always only displays a regular cursor. – Paul Lammertsma – 2016-03-22T17:54:13.133

Since you might be trying to take a screenshot of something other than the terminal window in which you issue the command, try the following to give you time to place the cursor: sleep 5 && gnome-screenshot -p – CPBL – 2016-10-26T19:12:24.517

Just found this:

[ubuntu] Screenshot include mouse pointer? - ubuntuforums.org

Start gconf-editor and check /apps/gnome-screenshot/include_pointer

Seems to work for me with PrintScreen -> gnome-screenshot ...
