Yes, I think alt is the more appropriate key in this case. The same is true for brightness. > | + '<alt>0xDC' : 'screenshot', > I think <alt>0x93 would actually be better (this is what I meant to > suggest). In other words, I think "<alt>frame" is better than > "<alt>search" for taking a screenshot.

I'm personally not ready to attribute the screenshot with the semantics of these other specialized keys. I think there may be some better used for them in the future, and am more content to leave it as the mostly meaningless alt-1 until we have a clearer direction. While the icon on the key is reminiscent of a photo frame, I don't think the actual semantics of the two functions relate. - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
