Title:
Unable to set Alt+Print as screenshot keyboard shortcut (laptopt
keyboard)
Status in Unity:
New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On 13.04, under System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts ->
Screenshots -> Take a screenshot of a window, I am unable to set Alt +
Print as the shortcut. Pressing that combination causes Mod2 + Alt L
to be (incorrectly) set.
NB I am able to set 'Print' as the shortcut key for Take full
screenshot, it is only in combination with the Alt key that I am
unable to set the shortcut. Also, this is on a laptop keyboard (HP G61
laptop), so Print Screen is accessed by 'Fn' key + Home key, so the
actual key combination I want to use is 'Fn' + Alt + Home.
My scan codes for the keys, if it helps (sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i
input/event4 > ~/keymap.log):
Alt L:
scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt
Home:
scan code: 0xC7 key code: home
'Fn' + Home:
scan code: 0xB7 key code: sysrq
'Fn' + Alt L + Home
scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt
scan code: 0x54 key code: sysrq
Ah, just to complicate matters further, 'Fn' + End also gives: scan
code: 0x54 key code: sysrq
Further info - I am trying to reset the shortcuts back to the
defaults, i.e. they did originally work with Print = full screenshot
and Alt Print = window screenshot, I was messing around with trying to
use Shutter instead, decided I didn't like it, and now am trying to
set the shortcuts back to the defaults.
Further further info, I have a sort of workaround by using CCSM
keybindings for Alt+Print bound to gnome-screenshot --window, which I
feel is less than ideal (although it at least does what I want!).
