I try to get a screenshot of the entire screen with the help of Actiona, but the PrntSCr (Print Screen) key is not detected when pressed. Anyone know how could I emulate the press of this key?

This is a suggested workaround which requires ImageMagick to be installed.

From Actiona you could call a bash script .. https://gist.github.com/aleiphoenix/3741659 .. which executes the import command in ImageMagick.

Hello, as an attachment, my solution. But it's still DIY.

Other solution.


Hello,

Personally, to make screenshots manually, I use Gadwin v4.6's PrintScreen (free) that works with customizable keyboard shortcuts (PRINT SCREEN ... or others). And I want to keep its setting for rectangular area copy.

Otherwise, PrintScreen would do the job as well as Greenshot (just uncheck all the dialogs).

For Actiona, I tried with the Greenshot v1.2.6.7 portable multilingual software (free) (unable to attach the software).
Download link (french site) : https://framakey.org/Portables/GreenshotPortable

Apparently, it works pretty well.
I did not see the final result because I do not have a printer at home.

My procedure for the installation of Greenshot portable:

a) close PrintScreen to avoid interference (keyboard shortcuts are the same),
b) Install Greenshot portable,
c) In preferences, set Greenshot portable with:
- General tab, declare the keyboard shortcuts for F2, F3, F4 ... and check startup when launching windows,
- Tab, uncheck all superfluous displays,
- Output tab, uncheck show the dialog box,
- Destination tab, check that printer,
- Printer tab, unchecked dialog box.
d) Save.

Restart the computer. There is no longer any conflict between PrintScreen and Greenshot because it no longer has the same keyboard shortcut.

Now, Actiona can print screenshots by a key action (F2, F3, F4 ...)
To set the F1, F2, F3 ... keys in Actiona, you have to close Greenshot.

It's up to you to try.
