GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 772050
Cannot enter keyboard shortcuts involving Alt + Print Screen
Last modified: 2016-10-10 21:57:27 UTC
As the description states, when trying to enter a keyboard shortcut, if it involves the Alt key and Print Screen, having Alt held down means Print Screen gets ignored. (Other key combos involving Print Screen are OK.) This means I can't change this shortcut to do something else, as I simply can't enter the required combo once it's gone. e.g.: I prefer Alt+PrintScr to copy to clipboard, a la Win32, unlike the GNOME default of it saving to a file - which I associate with Ctrl+Alt+PrintScr... except now I cannot enter either in g-c-c. I am running the latest version of everything on Debian unstable, bang up to date, which in this case means the following package of gnome-control-center: > 3489774 Sep 21 02:02 /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-control-center_1%3a3.22.0-1_amd64.deb Please let me know if any other info is required. Thanks!
Created attachment 336991 [details] [review] keyboard: Fix capture of Alt+PrintScreen shortcuts Alt+PrintScreen gives you Alt+SysRq. Repair the key value to match user expectations instead.
Review of attachment 336991 [details] [review]: Yeah, this is defined in xkb's pc symbols file which basically all keymaps end up using so it shouldn't be hitting false positives
Attachment 336991 [details] pushed as 6c598fa - keyboard: Fix capture of Alt+PrintScreen shortcuts
(pushing this to the 3-22 branch too)
Thanks both!
