Description Riccardo Robecchi 2021-09-24 06:40:26 UTC

SUMMARY
Spectacle always opens a window when a screenshot is taken, even when the "print screen" shortcut is assigned to "take a screenshot" and not to "open Spectacle". This behaviour is undesirable, as it means I can't take multiple screenshots in a row without having to manually minimise the Spectacle window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press the "print screen" key.

OBSERVED RESULT
A Spectacle window opens.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file is saved to its default location, but no Spectacle windows open.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

@Riccardo - would the above mentioned Shutter mode be acceptable?

Hello Antonio! That would certainly work in this use case, but the bug I was reporting here is a bit different: despite the shortcut being just "take a screenshot", Spectacle opened. That normally didn't happen and it doesn't happen now, so apparently it is something that has been fixed in the meantime. If I press the "print screen" button on my keyboard now, it works as expected.
Thanks for your help, I am marking the bug as fixed.
