XFCE: How to screenshot if mouse is hovering over a sub-menu?
Hello, I would need to take a picture of the screen also when I hover the mouse onto an application menu (focusing), but so far I haven't been able to do it due the fact that whenever hovering the mouse on some other points of the screen, the screenshot shortcuts disables and screenshot is not obtained. #KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS xfce4-screenshooter -f -------> STAMP xfce4-screenshooter -w-------> ALT+STAMP In Microsoft Windows their "Snippet application" works as you wish, without any limitations of this kind and I wonder to find a similar solution. Thanks! -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211012 Kernel:5.14.9-1-default Desktop: XFCE (4.16.0)

All of these have worked for me: import (ImageMagick) ksnapshot (KDE, TDE) spectacle (KDE) -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

In Microsoft Windows their "Snippet application" works as you wish, without any limitations of this kind and I wonder to find a similar solution.
Thanks!
On XFCE I use the native XFCE "Screenshot" applet. It sits on the panel bar, and it has three modes you have to select in advance (right click on it): - Entire screen - active window - select a region You can choose to capture the mouse pointer or not, and also to fire a number of seconds after activation (left click on it). Thus, I can for example capture an application while using the application menu. I configure to capture either the entire screen or the active window, and set a five seconds delay. I click, then got to the application, select the menu I want, and wait till the 5 seconds complete. The result can be saved to file or captured on the clipboard. It asks, while showing a small display of what it captured. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Hi, May be the delay shot is the right answer. I will try it. Many thanks! Cheers, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211012 Kernel:5.14.9-1-default Desktop: XFCE (4.16.0)
