Description Antti Savolainen 2024-04-16 04:50:29 UTC

SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/Zv2HtjkSskE
I feel that the default shortcut for Mouse Mark overlaps with the default hotkey for rectangular screenshot too much. Currently Mouse Mark is done with Ctrl+Shift+Mouse Move while Rectangular screenshot is Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen. This can lead to situations where a small movement of the mouse can leave a smidge on the screen right before trying to take a shot. In the demonstrative video I demonstrate it with bug 485619 to exaggarate the effect, but even a small smidge could be annoying. 
I propose that the binding should be moved to Ctrl+Shift+Mouse Click+Drag

Does this annoying behavior still occur in 6.0.4, where bug 485619 has been fixed?

Comment 2 Antti Savolainen 2024-04-22 00:21:03 UTC

I merely used the bug to exaggarate the effect. In practice the issue would be caused by first holding down Super+Shift and then moving my other hand from the mouse to the print screen button. It would look like this in practice: https://youtu.be/J9ur7UNyxcM

Oh btw, I said the wrong bindings in the original report. I said Ctrl+Shift when I should have said Super+Shift

Comment 3 fanzhuyifan 2024-04-22 02:05:13 UTC

Btw the binding is configurable, so you could change it so ctrl+shift if you find it annoying.

Comment 4 Antti Savolainen 2024-04-22 02:16:04 UTC

Yeah, I get that. I just wish to improve the experience for the people that come after me.
