FWIW you can detect individual function key presses by testing
keyboard.asynckeydown in KeyDown events, and you could probably
extend this to test for the print screen key, which I believe is F16
(?) on windows.
Therefore if you put this in your keydown event it should capture it
if Keyboard.asyncKeyDown(106) then
//F16 - (print screen) was pressed
return true
end

On a windows machine the equivalent keys for Mac's F13, F14 and

By Keycodes, I assume you mean the ascii values, not the keycode
at the hardware level, right?
No the actual Hardware Keycode itself. It's all described in the
Keyboard Module in the LR. Because the Function key trigger the
KeyDown event you can use that to write code to check for the
KeyCode. There's an example for checking the arrow keys using their
KeyCode instead of their ascii value. The purpose being that it
would be done using a Timer instead of a KeyDown event being
triggered.
(Else, it can't be trusted).
Why not. The KeyCodes are cross platform and Universal for standard
US QWERTY keyboards. They even work on non-standard Keyboards but
can represent different ascii letters as many foreign keyboards
have their ascii equivalents on different keys. The keyboards
themselves return identical codes though.
Well, I didn't know they were different.
Two ways of approaching a problem are always better than one. ;-)
Thanks for the info.
You're welcome. It's all in the LR (so to speak).
