Print Screen Button or Shortcut Key

JeremyS - Fri 28/11/2008 07:29:49 CET +0100

Is it possible to setup a shortcut key to print the screen? Currently users have to 'copy all to clipboard' then 'print clipboard'. The Scrollback is set to 0.

It would be handy to allow them to do it with a shortcut key. Is that possible with the new User Commands feature?

They print screens constantly throughout the day and their old software had a quick button for it. Would be nice to simmer the rebellion.

Thanks in advance,

Get the very last (0.60.66.11) version.
There is a new shortcut: F7 (copy all to clipboard + print clipboard).
You can also redefine the shortcut key by setting the configuration file kitty.ini.

Shortcuts
printall={F7}

Hi Cyd,

I often using "copy all to clipboard", "clear scrollback" and "reset terminal".
I haven't found a documentation for the shortcut feature, is there maybe a possibility to map this functions to a shortcut, too?

Best regards

No, actually it's not possible to map shortcuts on "PuTTY original" features.
I only add shortcuts on features I've developed for KiTTY.

As of version 0.60.66.25p, kitty_portable,
printall={F1} option does not change a hotkey. F7 still opens print window.

OS: Win XP, SP3
Other KiTTy versions tried: none.

Got it working. [Shortcuts] header was incorrect.

2 Cyd:
But still, there is a complaint: documentation incomplete, fuzzy. IMHO KiTTy project lacks structural logic.

To start with, why not to make an example kitty.ini with a list of _ALL_ options and comments?
If you don't have time to keep nice screenshoted documentation up-to-date, at least keep that sample .ini at edge.
