Description Georg.Sh 2021-12-26 18:38:16 UTC

Found no such key on my laptop :(
But what I insinctively tried:
- META+SHIFT+S (Windows snipping experience)
- CTRL+SHIFT+4/5, META+SHIFT+4/5 (MacOS experience)
 
I like the idea to add by default
META+SHIFT+S and/or META+SHIFT+5 - to take screenshot

Seems a reasonable suggestion to add shortcuts for devices with no PrtSc key.

In the interim, in case you don't know: you can add these yourself via System Settings => Shortcuts => Spectacle

I think this should also be enabled for systems that do have the PrtSc key.
Some laptops (like mine, Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE05) had the brightest idea that PrtSc should not press PrtSc (that would make sense), instead it presses Win+Shift+S. To make it actually press PrtSc you have to hold Fn, regardless of whether the Fn Lock is enabled or disabled.
If Win+Shift+S support was enabled, then I wouldn't have to hold Fn every single time.

Maybe this feature should be a keyboard option? (That would change the product and component of this to systemsettings -> kcm_keyboard.)
