Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When playing in fullscreen with socialClub version it's currently extremely hard to make proper screenshots of the game. (Steam version can use steam overlay to screenshot via F12)

Describe the solution you'd like A simple hotkey to takea screenshot and save into MyDocuments/Rockstar/GTA V/AltV folder. Hotkey could be F10/F11.

The screenshot api is implemented so servers can implement a own hotkey for this.

EtzBetz commented 3 years ago

I think there still should be a general Hotkey for this in alt:V, independent of server. That way, the user can set it and they are done, always knowing which key it is to press. Many small game mode servers won't even implement this themselves.

Why not just use win+shift+s combination?

datWeazel commented 1 year ago

Mainly because it's way to slow. Win+Shift+S opens the snipping tool. You then have to select the area you want to screenshot. This takes a moment and if you are unlucky you miss whatevery you want to screenshot.

Print-Key would solve this but it screenshots all monitors and you have to manually paste the image into paint or something.

For now the best solution is a screenshot key via the screenshot api but it depends on the server to implement. That way you never know if there's a hotkey to take a screenshot and if there is one, which key (or even key-combination) it is.
