The -f is cancelled by the -c:
OPTIONS
-c, --clipboard
Send the grab directly to the clipboard.
-f, --file=FILENAME
Save screenshot directly to this file.
The file will be stored in memory, not on disk, when -c is used: if you open Libreoffice writer and paste you will see your image.
How can I save and copy a screenshot at the same time?
edit1: bugreport #1446650 but nobody bothered to follow up on this.
edit2: I found a way around it by using xclip. Install with ...
sudo apt install xclip
and expand your command with a variable holding date and time and 2 commands:
DATE=`date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'`
sleep 5 && gnome-screenshot -af $DATE && xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i $DATE
Thanks! That does work in terminal, but it's not working as a keyboard shortcut. Even more troubling than that, when I try to assign the shortcut to the printscreen key a screenshot is taken instead. I disabled the screenshot shortcuts so I'm not sure why I cant use the printscreen key.

Convert the code into a script, make it executable, and then assign a keyboard shortcut to that script.
