Hi all. I just got a new Toshiba laptop with Win 8. I am having some issues taking screen shots. It seems the keystrokes are not the standard ones for Win 8. Here is what I know of:
prtscn alone does nothing.
win+prtscn does nothing.
fn+prtscn copies the screen shot, just like I expected prtscn alone to do.
fn+alt+prtscn copies and saves the screen shot.
Now here's the interesting part. If I pull up the digital keyboard, the standard shortcuts work.
What is going on here? This is important because I have a broken hand and it is problematic to have to use both hands to do this since the buttons are across the keyboard from one another. I am taking a lot of them because I am copying diagrams from a series of video lectures.
I tried remapping the shortcuts using autohotkeys but apparently remapping the fn button is impossible, according to their support chat. I tried remapping just using win+prtscn and that copies but does not save, which is a new combination.
This is infuriating. Any help would be much appreciated.
