mate-screenshot: Create an active window screenshot.
$ mate-screenshot --window
try on your machine

The "mate-screenshot --window" command is used to take a screenshot of a specific window on a computer running the MATE desktop environment. Here's a breakdown of each component: - "mate-screenshot" is the name of the command-line tool used for taking screenshots in the MATE desktop environment. - "--window" is an option that tells the tool to capture a screenshot of a particular window instead of the entire screen. By using this command, you are specifying that you want to capture a screenshot of a specific window rather than the whole screen.
