Screenshots without Ksnapshot

Recommended Posts

I play an online RPG, which means I cannot pause the game. Sometimes, things come up, things that I would like to take a picture of but I do not have enough time to open Ksnapshot and let it load. Is there any way I can take a screenshot using the PrintScreen/SysRq button, like on Windows? Thanks.

what?! :o

keyboard shortcuts don't work in kde?

...even works in gnome sometimes, depends on versions of stuff. Not in kde? :o Well,....

 

install imagmagik and from a terminal

import -window root -quality 85 ~/screenie/`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`-lg.png

 

or make it a script

#!/bin/bash
import -window root -quality 85 ~/screenie/`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`-lg.png

call it something short and fast

ss.sh

?

screenie.sh

?

+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.sh

?

 

whatever....and make a shortcut to it.
