Assigning a key for "Take Screenshot"? #1871

Closed kangaroo72 closed 3 years ago

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Hi team,

maybe I did not see it, but isn't it possible, to add a key (like print screen) to the "Take Screenshot"-Function?

Thank you,

-Tom-

@kangaroo72 I guess you missed this part of the documentation On Windows it automatically maps to the PrintScreen key. On Linux you have to configure it.

If you have any issues with mapping it in linux, just post here your operating system and your Desktop Environment and I'll help you. 😊

Otherwise, if this answer was enough and you don't have further questions, please close this issue.

Thanks so much for your help... I'm on Ubuntu Budgie 21.04 (Gnome) I tried creating a shortcut with /snap/bin/flameshot gui, but after pressing "Print" Key, it's just making a full screen screenshot...

mmahmoudian commented 3 years ago

So you did all the following:

and then when you pressed the PrintScreen key, did you see the following message?

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Yes, I did that... But no effect. When pressing the key, the screen just flashes, and a full screenshot is saved by Ubuntu.

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Wait ... now it works - let me do a reboot...

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Yeaaaah - it's reboot-resistant - thanks a lot!!!

mmahmoudian commented 3 years ago

a typical "turning it off an on again" situation 😉

@kangaroo72 Shall we close this issue then?

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

For that case, yes. I'm still working on a autostart-feature. I have to start FS, once, if the machine has rebootet... The Option is activated for autostart.

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

yay, that's it - thanks so much!! - You can close it now.

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Now print screen doesn't work anymore :-(

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

Is the snappy version maybe a problem?

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

This happens, while pressing print screen... https://cloud.escher.cc/s/F2bEi3LCFa3KeWX

It might be an issue with the snap, unfortunately that package seems buggier than the .deb release. It requires a total rebase and when I last checked the newer KDE base was not ready .

kangaroo72 commented 3 years ago

I will replace it with *.deb

thx
