K->Settings->System Settings
->Common Appearance and Behavior->Shortcuts and Gestures
->Global Keyboard Shortcuts
choose KDE component: khotkeys
PrintScreen: Print
This means the Print button activates the PrintScreen function
Then what program gets called with the PrintScreen function:
->Custom Shortcuts
\->Preset Actions
\-> PrintScreen
Choose the "Trigger" tab, shows Shortcut: Print
Choose the "Action" tab, shows command: ksnapshot
Remove "ksnapshot" from the entry in the Action tab to turn this off.
I'm glad you asked this question, because just the other day I had another
keyboard slip and lay down on the PrintScrn button on the keyboard I was
actually using, and an unending stream of KSnapshot programs kept opening.
What made this especially annoying is that 'killall -9 ksnapshot' would kill
only the active programs but the keyboard queue meant after these died new
ones opened and took keyboard and mouse precidence. Eventually I had to use
'slay' to slay every program my username was running, which logged me out of X
and stopped the problem. Since I know how to choose
K->Graphics->KSnapshot
I don't need the "convenience" of KSnapshot being opened by the Print button,
because there's also the possibility of it being more of a nussance than a
convenience.
