Vivaldi window captures Print Screen key
-
Hi! Today I located bug, that drove me crazy for a while now.
When Vivaldi window is focused I can't use Print Screen key, it seems like browser captures keystrokes.
What I done to fix it:- checked that in hotkeys PrintScreen is not mapped to any action
- then disabled hotkeys altogether
- then checked that there is no additional options for "Vivaldi Capture"
What else can I do to make Print Screen work again in Vivaldi? As for now to take a screnshot using GreenShot, I need to change window focus and then capture part of browser window that I need.

I suspect something else is capturing PrtScreen in your system, for me it copies whole screen to clipboard normally when Vivaldi is focused.
-
Yes, it's actually even more strange.
- I have GreenShot installed, it intercepts PrnScreen and Alt+PrnScreen
- It works in avery app on my PC besides Vivaldi
- in Vivaldi PrnScreen just copies whole screen to clipboard, but Alt+PrnScreen launches GreenShot as it should
- just remembered one more important thing - on Win7 before migrating to Win10 all worked perfectly fine

I'm not sure if it is related, but the add-on Screengrab! does not work with Vivaldi. If I do a Preview-Complete Page, or even Visible Portion, it acts like it is doing the capture, then it opens a new tab as expected, but then there is nothing in that page. It is blank. In other screen capture add-ons, I can sometimes get the page to display, but when I do a copy and try to paste in OneNote, I get nothing. I suspect these are bugs in Vivaldi since all these add-ons seem to fail in one way or another. BTW, Screengrab! for Firefox works great. Also while the Vivaldi screen capture menu item seems to work, I would like an add-on since I want a 1-button capture rather than force me to navigate menus like the Vivaldi screen capture.

@TonyK132 said in Vivaldi window captures Print Screen key:

Well, there are 4 assignable keyboard shortcuts for that in keyboard settings, "Capture page to file", "Capture page to Clipboard", "Capture Area to File" and "Capture Area to Clipboard". Isn't enough?

@Gwen-Dragon Tested IE11, FireFox, Chrome and they are all work fine, but sadly not Vivaldy.

If in GreenShot I remap the same action from PrnScreen to for example Ctrl+PrnScreen, then it starts to work in Vivaldi, but that's not convenient.

@Gwen-Dragon Well, it seems it's time to reinstall my windows.
For me Greenshot+Vivaldi didn't work right after clean installation of win10 x64.
Thanks for all the responses! -
