Bug Description
I constantly find myself inadvertently hitting the Print Screen key, which takes a screenshot of my desktop. While this is a useful feature, it's just too easy to hit the key on some keyboards when you don't mean too. And then you're tracking down the screenshots directory to delete the unneeded or unwanted screenshot.
This could be almost completely avoided by requiring a slightly longer keypress to trigger the screenshot (perhaps 500ms?).
To post a comment you must log in.
Note that this potentially a security issue, as I have found security sensitive screenshots in my Pictures folder. Screenshots that I did not mean to take but are hanging around on my computer.
