Linux Newbie Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 you didn't say 'keyboard' like I did, so how could we know that's what you were talking about? :P Also, usually, kb shortcuts won't work while playing a game ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
