A friend said that's how he does screenshots, but I have no further information on this. One of my colleagues uses a piece of freeware called PrintKey2000 to generate screenshots. As I recall, you can configure it to use any otherwise unused key combo as the hotkey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrintKey_2000 It's possible that your friend uses something like that. Agreed, that sounds a likely explanation. For example I use Macro Express Pro (MEP) which allows such keystroke changes. In MEP I see that I have three macros activated by F12, All are 'scoped' so that they work only if specific programs have focus. But many others are global. And several of those are simple mappings to another key for convenience. Not sure why F12 would be any more convenient than PrtScr though, an inch away? Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

No, it is the Steam overlay's default key is F12. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

Press the “F12” key on your keyboard to take a screenshot. You’ll hear a shutter sound and a “Screenshot saved” notification will appear at the bottom right corner of your screen. I won't mention some add-ons in FF that does the same thing because of your low intelligence.

This does not seem likely. My impression is he is talking about his work computer, and he's a Farmer's agent. I guess he's not using the Windows 10 "Game Bar", which is capable of taking screenshots and/or video captures of the screen. I believe those features both need a qualifying key to go along with F12, for example. Bring up the Game Bar by pressing Win+G. He was "half wrong" about the F12 key. He's got one of the spiffy keyboards that will changer your tires, if you want it to. LOL The F12 key is labeled print, and prints his documents. It does not do Print Screen. On the plus side, for me, I got through using the Snipping Tool for screenshots before the presentation went off the rails. He likes that for what he can use it for, and it's not pinned to his taskbar! LOL While I was there, I showed him the Windows key + Print Screen key, don't know if he'll use that feature or not. -- Ken MacOS 10.14.6 Firefox 70.0.1 Thunderbird 60.9 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!" |

My Irfanview is Ctrl + F11, I believe.* But it's configurable, anyway. He may have remapped F12 as printscreen using a program such as Key Tweak. Rene F11 was already in use when I installed Irfanview. It's used by a systray utility that opens the DVD tray. Irfanview (marvellous program! Good programmer/s) recognised that, and so used F12. It is!!!* Far more capable than anything I use it for. Me too. It's been available for ages, together with other things like Sequoiaview and Macrium Reflect. I like to see them as the grand old days of early Net; when you gained an MA or PhD for your pains, and then released your efforts to the world for free. No more! These days you release something for free, wait a bit, get sponsorship for advertising, incorporate it, and then charge for an update to the Pro version; which will perform near miracles of goodness as well as flash fewer ads.
