I also see two "Take a screenshot" (and "Take a screenshot of a window") shortcuts in the All Settings/Keyboard/Screenshots configuration dialog.
The problem with this is when I try to customize the Print key, the first entry gets disabled, but the second instance doesn't. Then when I press the Print key my custom shortcut doesn't get invoked. I wanted to map the Print key to 'gnome-screenshot --interactive' so I'd get the dialog allowing me to select how to take the screenshot and where to put the result. However, I could not remap the Print key to the program I wanted to use except by the following convoluted workaround: - Create a Custom Shortcut entry for Print - I gave it a name of "Screenshot" and Command of "gnome-screenshot --interactive" - click in the accelerator part of the new entry and press the Print key to assign it to the new shortcut. This results in a dialog that says that Print is already assigned and allowing me to confirm that I want to disable the old mapping and set it to the custom shortcut - However, the Print key doesn't perform the custom action and when you go to the "Screenshots" shortcut category you'll see that the first entry for "Take a screenshot" is disabled, but the second entry isn't. There seems to be no way to delete or disable the second entry, - click on the second entry's key mapping (Print) to allow you to change it; press some key sequence that's otherwise unused (I used Ctrl-Shift-Alt-P) to reassign the shortcut. The Print key now seems to do nothing (it still doesn't invoke the custom shortcut set up in the first step) - go back to the custom entry and configure it to use the Ctrl_Shift-Alt-P key (or whatever you chose in the previous step). You'll now be prompted to confirm that there's a conflict and you'll have the option of disabling the other "Take a screenshot" setting. - now both of the "Take a screenshot" settings in the Screenshots category are disabled, if you reconfigure the custom shortcut to be mapped to the Print key it will now work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screenshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194144 Title: Assigning "Take a screenshot" shortcut disables "Take a screenshot" shortcut (according to dialog box) Status in “gnome-screenshot” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Notice in the photo provided there are two "Take a screenshot" shortcuts. I booted into the 12.04.2 LTS DVD and selected "Try Ubuntu" to verify this is nothing I did in my setup. Why does "Take a screenshot" appear twice?
