Disable Printscreen Shortcut?

Mon Jul 05, 2010 4:47 pm
I've been banging my head against this for a couple days now, so I figure it's about time to give in and come ask. What I want to do, is disable the Printscreen shortcut that brings up Ksnapshot. On the weekends, I play World of Warcraft through Wine, and hit the printscreen button by accident quite often. As of right now, switching out of the World of Warcraft window will crash the WoW client - so when Ksnapshot grabs focus, I have to start the client back up and log back in, which is very annoying.

So far, I've managed to disable global hotkeys for the WoW client specifically, which solves the problem but disallows access to my volume and mute keys. I'm hoping for a more appropriate solution - I didn't see that shortcut noted anywhere in any of the keyboard dialogs or application launcher settings.

I'm using KDE 4.4.3 on Slackware 13.1 64-bit, if it makes a difference.

should be systemsettings -> shortcuts and gestures -> global keyboard shortcuts -> kdecomponent -> khotkeys. You'll need to scroll down to see khotkeys

Or in System Settings -> Computer Administration -> Input Actions, find the one for KSnapshot and disable it.

Bingo. I didn't notice the scrollbar until you said that - khotkeys was the only hidden one. Thanks!

Yeah, printscreen had been a default keybinding for a long history, until KDE 4.4. I'm not sure what upstream decision would've chosen to turn that off. It is a function that expected as well and had to figure out.
