You may execute this command in the terminal (requires ImageMagick, which is rather ubiquitous):
sleep 3 && import -window root output.png which will grab the entire screen after 3 seconds and save the image into 'output.png'. This way you can open any menu and choose any element of the menu _before_ the 'import' command gets executed. You could also play with parameters a bit. For example, you could extend the waiting time if you need. You could also redirect the output to the 'display' command (also from ImageMagick) in order to check the screenshot out before saving it to file (it is possible to save file from the 'display''s menu): sleep 3 && import -window root - | display So, this is not exactly what you asked (no control via hotkeys), however, the task of assigning the hotkeys may be solved separately. For example, the XFCE and JWM desktops (as well as virtually any desktop environment out there) let one assign the custom hotkeys for any commands. So it is easy to link the commands I suggested above to any hotkeys you want. I use it in JWM a lot. I hope, my suggestion is useful. Regards, Vladimir ----- <v...@ukr.net>
