Randy,

In windows, print screen prints to the clipboard not the printer, from 
which
the pic can be pasted into an application.

It is a function most often used by manual writers and program reveiwers, 
not
to say that other uses dont exist.

[newbie] how to print screen?

2002-06-26 Thread Josef Lowder

I sent the following question several days ago, and never received any 
response?  Did the message never arrive, previously? 

Does the keyboard Print Screen key work with Linux in the same way as it 
does with Windows? ... so a captured screen image automatically goes to a 
clipboard and can then be pasted directly into any graphics app?  

I have tried using Screen Capture, but that seems rather cumbersome by 
comparison, requiring several additional steps.

I do recall there was a response to your mail suggesting creating a key 
binding. The post should be in the archives.

 Thanks for responding, Damian ...

 Print Screen is a very handy feature and one which I hope someone in the
 Linux community will solve at some point.  While I certainly prefer Linux
 to M$ anything, it would be hoped that eventually Linux could beat M$ in
 every basic function such as this certainly is.

 Kindest regards,

Well Alt-printscr-R sets your keyboard to Raw mode
ALT-Printscr-S syncs disks (buffer flush)
ALT-Printscr-B reboots

If you want printscr, just do a screen capture and drag the captured 
file to the printer.

Thanks, I forgot about that!  I guess it was dos where printscreen
actually printed (?).  And, I had a utility installed in Windows, IIRC,
that did the same thing.
