I want to make it so that when I press the print screen key on my keyboard, it actually includes the cursor. I know that it is calling gnome-screenshot, but I can't find any way to change the arguments it is using with it. If anyone knows about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Not directly answering your question, but other, more advanced screenshot tools like shutter have an option to include the cursor or not, and can also do things like delayed screenshots (useful for context menus etc. that would go away when you press a key) or directly edit the resulting image.

You can do this with dconf-editor but with command line as well. Here are the gsettings effecting gnome-screenshot:

Use this command to check current settings:

gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-screenshot include-pointer
false

Use this command to turn on the option:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot include-pointer true

Use the same technique for the other gnome-screenshot settings.

---

Note you can get a list of all settings with gsettings list-recursively. For the screenshot above I used the technique in this answer:

• Bash one-liner to display ALL `gsettings` in GUI dialog window

And the one-liner code (works with yad only) is:

gsettings list-recursively | sed 's/ */n/;s/ */n/;s/&/&/g' | yad --list --title "gsettings" --item-seperator='n' --width=1800 --height=800 --wrap-width=600 --column=Group --column=Key --column=Setting --no-markup
