Print Screen shortcut

[APolihron]

Print Screen shortcut/key on keyboard don't work, all it's doing is making a sound.

From testing Solus upstream this problem also occurs.

Have reported this upstream - https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/415

[fossfreedom (fossfreedom)]

#415 marked as duplicate of #261 upstream

Note - upstream have noted that fixing this via Vala is difficult.

Will need some C programming help - a potential bridge API was started here - https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/tree/c-api

Upstream needs help here to resolve

Ok. Until then i beleve that on the print screen key we need to put the application screenshot

link to "screenshot" - its gnome-screenshot that is installed at the moment.

I'm not sure that the print button can be mapped manually - suggest go into settings - keyboard - shortcuts and see if you can manually map the print button to gnome-screenshot.

Aah.. So this is why I couldn't get screenshots by pressing PrintScr! 😄 All this time, I thought it was a bug with the VM manager.

Yes you can see the screenshot

You should change the command associated with the PrintScr in the keyboard shortcuts. That's the problem. I couldn't do it on my own.

Rabin - if you know how to-do this via a shell script or similar then please let us know. The real solution needs skills as described in #3
