Use print screen

Post by basenjimae » 25 Apr 2020, 06:35

I am so lost as to how to use the M key as print screen. I have only tried in the send keyboard sequence in the macros tab because I am unsure how to write scripts.

hello,
I have encountered the same issue with printscreen (it doesn't work somehow)
I WANTED TO EMULATE THE WINDOWS SHORTCUT WIN+PRTSC TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS
here's what i did :
1. install autohotkey
2. open notepad and input this code !F7:: Send {PrintScreen}
where ! is alt so now alt+f7 triggers printscreen (you can set it to whatever you want)
3. save the file as .ahk and run it
4. now in hidmacros set a macro(alt+f7) to be triggered by your required key
5.do remember any autohotkey script has to continously run in background so just add it to the startup folder
