In modern Ubuntu (GNOME 42+), the best way to achieve this is by reassigning native shortcuts instead of creating custom ones. The GNOME Shell has a built-in interactive capture tool. By remapping the native settings, you avoid priority conflicts with the Super (Windows) key and ensure that your captures are sent to both the clipboard and your Pictures/Screenshots folder simultaneously. Note: When you set Super + Shift + S, the system might show a conflict warning. Simply click Replace or Reassign to confirm the new mapping.
