is it possible to Prnt Scrn on Full screen?

#1 Post by erickcire95 »

Hello, I have a little question.

Is it possible to use the Prnt Scrn key to take a screenshot when in Full Screen? every time I do it doesn't work. Just takes a screenshot of my desktop background.
In window mode it works just fine, but it won't allow me to do it in Full screen mode.

I know that pressing S will save a screenshot in the game folder, but I want it to get copied to the clipboard. Is there a way to do it? How?

Thanks in advise

Have you tried using S?
The S key is bound to screenshots

As I said in the las line, I know that pressing S saves a screenshot, but this way the screenshot is not copied to the clipboard (which is what I'm looking for).

oh did not see that.
If you don't mind, what do you need the file copied to clipboard for? You can't post it on forums etc like that, infact what you can do with it from clipboard is extremely limited.
Are you perhaps instead trying to upload the image to an imagehost and copy the direct link instead, much like ShareX does?

Well I don't really mind using S key, that complaint comes from some of my players who think that it is too troublesome, it is a lot faster for them to just paste the clipboard image in some chats like Facebook instead of searching for the image through the folders.
