Not sure with mtpaint but with scrot just make a script in root call it scrot.edoc wrote:I find the mtPaint-screenshot and this command line option helpful but less efficient than a possible alternative.stu90 wrote:Theres a cool little command line screenshot application (scrot_0.8-11) that works well on lucid 5.1 in the ubuntu repository - maybe one to add to the lucid repo?
Humble proposal/request: Can a keyboard key be scripted, or a bottom toolbar icon, that with a single press or click captures the screen?
Reasons:
1. In some cases any screen activity causes what it displayed to change or to disappear.
2. In some cases mtPaint or a command line app is too slow and what is to be captured has changed or disappeared.
3. Complicated seems unnecessary decades after "PrtSc" was added to every keyboard.
Am I missing something? Other than my mind, that is?
