How do you take a screen-shot / print-screen / screen-capture in TC?

[roberts]

It is on the main system (right click) menu, Screenshot

[baz]

Easy enough, thank you!

[jpeters]

....maybe better to hotkey it, so you don't have the menu in the screenshot.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
sleep 1 && imlib2_grab screenshot_`date "+%m.%d_%H:%M:%S"`.png


[baz]

jpeters, the menu doesn't actually appear in the screenshot - they are smart developers! But I still would like to map the hotkey to 'printscrn', where do I put that command and does it map to printscrn?

Cheers,
Baz

jpeters uses jwm. There is a config file for hotkeys when using jwm.

baz: there may be a way to do that via a utility like xmodmap

[baz]

Online it says to use the xev command to find out the keycode for print screen to xmodmap it, however I don't think we have xev in TC? Any idea how to go about getting the keycode - and is this the best way to map my fn+PrtSc key on my EEE in LXDE?

Thanks.

xev is part of Xorg. You can temporarily mount it to use xev, not even necessary to restart X.

xmodmap can't have actions bound to keys; you need a hotkey daemon for that. Actkbd is a standalone one, some window managers have their own (jwm, fluxbox, xfce for example).

LXDE? How do I get at it.

[curaga]

LXDE uses openbox, so either the obconf app or:

You're the best, thank you!
