I'm looking for a screenshot application, that can silently take screenshot and save it when I press a key, no further user interaction required.
Does anyone know of something suitible?

My suggestion would be to use the command line tool 'scrot'.
You can make your own keyboard shortcut to run scrot and bind it to a shortcut of your choice (Shift+PrintScreen, for example) in the keyboard shortcuts SystemSettings module.
'man scrot' will give you the details on how to use the command...here's an example from the man page:
EXAMPLE
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
This would create a file called something like 2000-10-30_2560x1024.png and move it to your shots directory. -
If you want a pregram which will silently take a snapshot and require no extra clicking, scrot might be the bet solution. After installing it, you could go to System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Custom Shortcuts and then expand the file Preset Actions. Printscreen should be there. You could remap the key from there to use scrot.Comment
