Using the F12 key to take screenshots
Has anyone seen a system that, when the F12 key is pressed, a screenshot
is generated? A friend said that's how he does screenshots, but I have no further information on this. -- Ken MacOS 10.14.6 Firefox 70.0.1 Thunderbird 60.9 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"

As I mentioned the "sense" of the Fn key is now sometimes reversed, you don't need the Fn+key to get the special key, but you do need it to get the function key, IYSWIM. Also some desktop keyboards are now catching the "Fn key disease", e.g https://superuser.com/questions/934945/disable-the-fn-key-on-microsoft-media-keyboard

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.

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.

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. I learned he was using F12 when I was doing a presentation to my small networking group on taking screenshots using W10. In preparing the presentation, I played with the Game Bar, not impressed with it or Paint 3D. Paint 3D made me feel like I was in the 2nd grade. In no time, the presentation went totally off the rails! I kept getting questions on doing screenshots on a Mac! You know how you always hear how business use Windows? For those in attendance, 4 of 6 use Macs, the F12 user has a 2010 iMac, and one person who was not in attendance has a dead Mac she and her husband will be replacing. In the future, my presentations will be even more generic, and I'll cover both Macs and Windows, as best I can, in my 30 minutes of allotted time. The group meets tomorrow, and with luck, F12 guy will be in attendance. I'll see if he's got 10 minutes to show me how F12 works on his system. -- Ken MacOS 10.14.6 Firefox 70.0.1 Thunderbird 60.9 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"
