Version: 0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages While testing stuff in KDE, I found that alt+printscrn and ctrl+printscrn do not work. I tried giving them different key combinations and even single keys, but ksnapshot never starts when these are pressed. It does start if you press just printscrn. As a side note; I'm not quite sure where this key is supposed to be assigned. The application does not have a shortcut set up, nor does it appear in the list of global shortcuts. Where can I find it? I expected it to be listed as "screenshot" before the "window screenshot" shortcut in the miscellaneous branch of the global shortcuts tab.
Reassigning to kwin that's what implements those other shortcuts.
Thanks Richard I wasn't aware of that. I found the shortcut for ksnapshot in the input actions module. Disabling the action by checking the respective checkbox did not work, after applying the changes, pressing printscrn ksnapshot still started. Do I have to log in and out for these changes to be activated? (If so, why am I not notified of this?)
They do work, the screenshot is in the clipboard.

D'oh</homer> I assumed that ksnapshot would start in the appropriate modes since I'm used to making screenshots on KDE that way. :)
