What is the lighshot alternative for ubuntu?

Hello!

Actually the question is in the subject: I moved from Windows to Ubuntu, now I'm dragging the tools that I used.
I can’t find an alternative to Lightshot (for creating and editing screenshots on the fly by pressing the Print Screen button).
Googling came up with the following list, but nothing repeats the functionality of the lightshot:
1. Gyazo - not for the link
2. FireShot and HotShot - not supported as I understand it
3. ScreenCloud - on the PrintScreen button I did not see how to plant

Lightshot itself under Wine does not roll, therefore what a crutch.

ksnip - scored on PrintScreen
for recording gif animation - on Ctrl+PrintScreen

I use this script

#!/bin/bash

NAME="/tmp/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).gif"

DEFAULT_DURATION=10
DURATION=10
echo "Select capture area" | xcowsay -t 1

AREA="$(xrectsel)"
IFS=+ read DIM X Y <<< $AREA
IFS=x read W H <<< $DIM

echo ""

#read -p "Enter recording duration in seconds: " USERDUR

# Duration and output file
#if [ $USERDUR -gt 0 ]; then
    #DURATION=$USERDUR
#else
    #DURATION=$DEFAULT_DURATION
#fi

echo "$DURATION sec. Recording has started..." | xcowsay -t 1

byzanz-record --cursor --duration=$DURATION --x=$X --y=$Y --width=$W --height=$H "$NAME"

#echo -e "Recording finished\n$NAME" | xcowsay -t 1
if [ -f "$NAME" ]; then
# Open file in defaul viewer
xdg-open "$NAME"
#    xviewer /tmp/"$NAME"
fi
