Description smihael 2017-01-08 19:39:11 UTC

Spectacle catches screenshot only on the first press of the Print Screen shortcut. Consecutive key presses do not result in starting a new instance of Spectacle with the new screenshot as one would have expected (old behaviour present in KSnapshot). Instead Print Screen key selects the menu with different options for a screenshot (rectangular region, window, fullscreen).

A new screenshot can only be taken when Spectacle is closed (after the screenshot has been saved).

[WIP] Add option to configure what happens if the Print key is pressed while Spectacle is already running

Summary:
Adds options to configure what happens if the Print key is pressed while Spectacle is already running as discussed in T9855.
Taking a new screenshot and opening a new Instance are working. If already two Instances are open only one new one will be created.
Focusing the window doesn't work it only gets marked in the panel.
Also when in a second instance the option is changed it doesn't affect the other instances altough the spectaclerc is changed.
I also need some help with the strings as currently the description is very long and not good but I couldn't think of anything suitable:
