I wanted to set the keyboard shortcut for "Copy a screenshot of a window to clipboard" to Alt+Print but it wouldn't allow me. I could use other combinations however, Ctrl+print, Shift+Print, etc. I disabled the Alt key in Compiz to show the HUD as well so nothing happens when I tap or press Alt, but it still doesn't let me use it in the keyboard shortucts menu.

Pressing that combination causes Mod2 + Alt L to be (incorrectly) set. NB I am able to set 'Print' as the shortcut key for Take full screenshot, it is only in combination with the Alt key that I am unable to set the shortcut. Also, this is on a laptop keyboard (HP G61 laptop), so Print Screen is accessed by 'Fn' key + Home key, so the actual key combination I want to use is 'Fn' + Alt + Home. My scan codes for the keys, if it helps (sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event4 > ~/keymap.log): Alt L: scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt Home: scan code: 0xC7 key code: home 'Fn' + Home: scan code: 0xB7 key code: sysrq 'Fn' + Alt L + Home scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt scan code: 0x54 key code: sysrq Ah, just to complicate matters further, 'Fn' + End also gives: scan code: 0x54 key code: sysrq Further info - I am trying to reset the shortcuts back to the defaults, i.e. they did originally work with Print = full screenshot and Alt Print = window screenshot, I was messing around with trying to use Shutter instead, decided I didn't like it, and now am trying to set the shortcuts back to the defaults. Further further info, I have a sort of workaround by using CCSM keybindings for Alt+Print bound to gnome-screenshot --window, which I feel is less than ideal (although it at least does what I want!).
