Disabling Print Screen key
Date: Tue Jul 31 2007 - 11:09:50 EDT
Hi,
My Print Screen key is too close to BackSpace, so I keep pressing it by accident. I use KDE, and this makes "KSnapshoyt" pop up. (In fluxbox, it sends the content of the terminal to the printer.)
I checked the key assignments of KDE, and I found no shortcut for the PrtSc key, and even defining a different application for that key would still make (only) KSnapshot pop up. (KSnapshot was assigned to Crtl+PrtSc, and I disabled it too, just in case.)
My Google searchs did not help (even on this list).
So, I decided to disable the key.
Using "xev", I saw that the keycode was 111:
....
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 482199882, (485,527), root:(489,552),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
....
Indeed, "xmodmap -pk" gave:
...
111 0xff61 (Print) 0xff15 (Sys_Req)
...
So, I did "xmodmap -e "keysym Print = BackSpace"". Now, "xev" gives:
....
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 482660638, (-260,401), root:(838,426),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff08, BackSpace), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 22
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (08) "
....
and "xmodmap -pk" gives:
...
111 0xff08 (BackSpace)
...
But still, KSnapshot pops up, and the backspace has no effect.
Any suggestions or ideas (other than remove the key physically)??
Thanks,
Luis
