How about:
F4 - exposé desktop
Prtscr - shot of a window

After all, since the beginnings this is the main function of Prtscr - "to print the screen" (on the printer in DOS, to the clipboard in Windows and to the desktop as screenshot in the most Linux desktops).

The rest are ok.

I'm still for F4 as showing desktop and prt sc as print screen/window. Rest is fine with me.

I agree on that part at least

I currently have f4 as mission control. But you guys want the Desktop itself?

I'm not quite sure how to make a screen shot in this, as it isn't a function an apple keyboard can do.

If apple's keyboard can do it, I can fairly easily, anything else will require a good bit of work.

just leave it as F13 and add it to keyboard shortcuts (i think that "defaults write com.apple.something will do this)

Maybe it's possible, if you can make it run a simple shell command

Shot of the whole desktop:

screencapture -t png ~/Desktop/"Screenshot - `date`.png"

Shot of selected window:

screencapture -t png -w ~/Desktop/"Screenshot - `date`.png"

Shot of custom selection:

screencapture -t png -s ~/Desktop/"Screenshot - `date`.png"

The extension of the file can be whatever you want, as long as it's extension for image. According to this extension, the screencapture tool chooses the image format automaticly.

the -t option is for the file format. Unspecified, it will force the tool to produce png image by default, but you can change that easy with specifying -t jpg or -t pdf or whatever supported format you want (there are maybe 7 or 8 supported image formats ). The whole filename can be customized as well.

I'm pretty sure, that the OS uses exactly this tool for the screenshots.

Ideas? F12 I was going to set as next song, but then if you hold that it fast forwards. Aka no eject.

So set eject to the button by wifi? Or?

 

[riodoro1]

Thats a good idea, we don't need that button anyway
