I needed to highlight some text in my screenshots and I did not know how to do it with the default screenshot app.
Flameshot is a solution. I installed it.
How can I replace the PrtScr shortcut-key so that it launches Flameshot?

You should cut out everything from the second sentence onward, post it as an answer and delete it from the question so that the Q&A format is mantained.

If you need to replace the PrtScr shortcut do the following:
Release the PrtScr binding by this command
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot ''Go to Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard and scroll to the end. Press + and you will create custom shortcut.
Enter name: "flameshot", command:
/usr/bin/flameshot gui.Set shortcut to PrtScr (print).
That is it. Next time you push PrtScr flameshot will be launched.
