Hello,

is there a way to change the (global) key ctrl+shft+f12 für the desktop snapshot to something else? I would prefer printscreen...

thanks in advance / Karsten

Tools\Define keyboard shortcuts

this looks good, but it doesn't work.

I can remove the settings, but i cannot assign a new key - its greyed out

Click the "New shortcut" field and hit your new combo.

ah, yes, i see. But it works for e.g. ctrl+shft+f9, but it does not work für the printscreen key...

Yes, FC can't use system hotkeys (Prt scr, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Win+M etc.).
There are workarounds, but first you have to disable that key (http://www.geeklayout.com/2012/11/disab ... n-key.html) and is highly unrecommended.

I don't personally see a reason to use the Prt scr key in FC.
However, you can integrate in FC a command line tool like the very powerful MiniCap.

For example, here is a toolbar button for it (you can make more, with different commands and results) to capture the desktop to file:

thanks a lot for your detailed help about this issue! This will help...
