Yes, do! I'd be curious to see it. I realize this is many weeks late, but I finally have the new version of PRTSCR ready to go. The documentation was in far worse shape than I remembered, so that's what took most of my time. It's available from my web site: http://bretjohnson.us

I meant that support for controlling PRTSCR in this way could be a part of the PRTSCR program, without requiring the detour via SCANCODE. I can see where that might be desirable is some circumstances, though I purposely decided to go with a more modular design. Having separate programs is

But isn't it the advantage of a free operating system that there are several alternative approaches available (often more or less different) and the user has the freedom to pick the one that fits best his special requirements? But before someone can make a choice one has to know that there is
