As xfce4-screenshooter --help tells us: Application Options: -c, --clipboard Copy the screenshot to the clipboard -d, --delay Delay in seconds before taking the screenshot -f, --fullscreen Take a screenshot of the entire screen Judging from that, running xfce4-screenshooter -c -f should make a screenshot of the whole screen an store it in the clipboard. Instead, a window is opened with further questions. Suggestion: somehow make it more consistent. Rationale: I would like to assign an action 'make a screenshot and store into the clipboard' to a 'prntscrn' key on my keyboard. Can this be done?
Created attachment 7818 patch This misbehavior was introduced recently, since now it is possible to use the clipboard action along with others. Before pushing the fix to master, I would like to hear from you if you are able to test the attached patch. Good catch and thanks for reporting.
Worked for me. Thanks for responding so quickly. I am amazed. I bound this spell to the 'Print Screen' button in 'keyboard shortcuts', and it works. (Exactly like some other well known operating system does.) Would it be worth suggesting to introduce such a keybinding to be used by default in XFCE? (I think it would be friendly to fresh migrants from that OS.)
Andre Miranda referenced this bugreport in commit 234a3db78561298a21581208852cbb29ff66cd80 Fix clipboard action handling (Bug #14513) https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/commit?id=234a3db78561298a21581208852cbb29ff66cd80
Pushed to master, this fix will be available in xfce4-screenshooter 1.9.3. With regards to the default key binding, I filed Bug 14524 requesting that.
