every os uses prtsc as the screenshot hotkey and then Mac os comes in and like
hmmm nahh fuck all of you command + shift + 1 or whatever the fuck it is
@vl1 Apple does some weird stuff. on the other hand, they made the first GUI that most people ever used, so they sort of have their own cinematic universe with its own continuity and canon...
@thor @vl1 Also Apple keyboards don't even have the Print Screen key — at least one that's labeled this way, the keycode might match. So it wouldn't make any sense.
And it's not just Cmd+Shift+1, there are like six of those shortcuts, do you want the whole screen or just a region, do you want it copied to clipboard or saved to desktop, JPEG or PDF?
And, unlike Windows, Mac OS X (or whatever they call it now) allows you to redefine any shortcut. Just bind any of those functions to PrnScr — done!
@m0xee@social.librem.one @thor@berserker.town right but command shift 1 is literally the most random hotkey for a screenshot and it would be really useful if ptrsc could be used as a secondary by default, even if their keyboards dont have it
i literally had to google how to make a screenshot on macos
@vl1 My most used shortcut was, if memory serves me right, Cmd+Shift+4 so what the default should be is debatable 😉
Anyway, even Windows uses Print Screen only as legacy now, they now have something like Windows+Shift+S — it opens the newer built-in screenshooting utility, that offers a choice of whether you need a region, a window or the whole screen. Most newer Windows laptops don't have that key anymore, even for desktop computers smaller keyboards got popular.

@vl1 I agree, it might be a good idea to have something bound to Print Screen by default, but no big deal — not in the top of the most questionable design decisions. And what it should be bound to is up for debate 🤷
