GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 673061
Not configurable screencasting shortcut
Last modified: 2012-10-24 20:08:25 UTC
gnome-shell needs to offer the functionality over dbus, instead of hard-coding it within. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #673059 +++ It is possible to configure shortcuts for taking screenshots, but impossible to configure the shortcut for recording a screencast. That sounds like inconsistency to me.

I'm not sure I agree - the shortcut itself is already configurable, we just don't expose it to control-center. Is there any particular value in having it work analogous to gnome-screenshot from a user perspective? And more importantly - who is supposed to consume the DBus API? Also see bug 671010

If not, then I'm fine with the current state of affairs. If it is, it would be nicer if it were handled like screenshots, and other global shortcuts. > And more > importantly - who is supposed to consume the DBus API? gnome-settings-daemon would call it out.
I'm not sure what's the process of figuring this out :), I'm just passing you what end-users think is missing and what I myself confirm as lacking a consistent approach. You could take it as an opinionated piece of crap or you could take it as a call for common sense :)
I don't think it really matters to users where a particular feature is implemented; the shortcut itself is now configurable in control-center.
