Reading Default Take Screenshot I didn't found the thread about elive-screenshot tool?

Since the version 3.8.19 the elive screenshot tool hotkeys will be updated from:

KeyDown - Print exec elive-screenshot -s -p
KeyDown S Print exec elive-screenshot -r -s
KeyDown C Print exec elive-screenshot -r -s -p

To:

KeyDown - Print exec elive-screenshot -r -p
KeyDown S Print exec elive-screenshot -s -p
KeyDown A Print exec elive-screenshot -w -s -p -d

use 'elive-screenshot --help' to know the details

The new combination makes it much more friendly and useful for productivity / its own purpose:

The new hotkeys will:

  • Simply press Impr: you will see a message saying to select a range to take a screenshot from, quality will be png and the file will be not saved in your screenshots directory
  • With Shift, it will take a screenshot of your whole screen (and this will be suggested when you press it without any combination key too), quality png and saved the file in your screenshots directory
  • With Alt: it will allow you to pick a window which you want to screenshot, quality png and file saved

Note: if you want to keep your actual E16 settings, just change them in your hotkeys file:

scite ~/.e16/bindings.cfg
