In previous version of KDE4 there was very useful shortcut (PtrScr),
which was opening KSnapshot. It doesn't work in KDE 4.0.85.

It's very hard to find settings, where I could change this option.

actually it doesn't appear that any of the hotkeys in khotkeys or kwin

I also seem to have duplicate entries in khotkeys for printscreen
although only one of them has the shortcut assigned.

also this shouldn't be wishlist as it's a broken feature

Running Mandriva 2009, KDE 4.1.3, I found this bug by searching google,
as the PrintScreen key does not work for me as it did in KDE 3.5,
either.  I voted and tried Caleb's workaround, which seems to get the
key working as it should, after starting khotkeys, as he said.
Additionally, adding khotkeys as a program in the Autostart module of
SystemSettings has provided a working PrintScreen behavior, past one
reboot, anyway.

I can confirm that - running KDE 4.1.80, if I unassign the Global
Keyboard Shortcut for PrintScreen, and then go into Input Actions and
assign PrintScreen to the Ksnapshot application, it works.

This is in Kubuntu Intrepid.

In Mandriva 2009.1 RC1, the printscreen key is working to start
ksnapshot since installation.

ksnapshot-4.2.1-2mdv2009.1
kdebase4-workspace-4.2.1-126mdv2009.1

I don't see khotkeys running in ps:

[rolf at localhost ~]$ ps aux|grep hot
rolf      5758  5.1  1.3  42600 28956 ?        R    05:35   0:01 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/draksnapshot-applet

In fact, it's not installed:

[rolf at localhost ~]$ urpmf khotkey
[..]
kdebase3-progs:/opt/kde3/bin/khotkeys
[..]
[rolf at localhost ~]$ rpm -q kdebase3-progs
package kdebase3-progs is not installed

My laptop key combination (Fn + PrtScrn) is recognized in the Global

KDE Service manager says that KHotKeys service is running, but I don't
see in the ps list if I do 'ps aux | grep -i khot'. Not sure if this is
the correct way of checking running service.

3) Select in dropped-down menu New -> Global Shortcut -> Command\URL
4) Type a new name to this Action (i named it "PrintScreen")
5) Be shire this Action is selected in the list, and go to the right side of the window, to "Trigger" tab.
6) Assign shortcut to this action (PrtScr, or any key sequence you want)
7) Go to the Action tab, and type "ksnapshot" in Command\URL field.

This is caused by r933942 "Import actions always in disabled state." - that is not right. The PrintScreen action is imported from printscreen.khotkeys and should be enabled by default, but this makes it disabled (and just enabling it in the kcm makes it all work).
I don't see the purpose of the change - if something should not be enabled when imported, it should be already disabled in the .khotkeys file.

I'm fixing that for 4.4. The problem as usual in this cases is that only
new user accounts will profit from the solution. Everyone having created
it's user account before or after 4.2 should have a not working key.
Everyone doing that exactly with 4.2 should have it working.

Do that only if you never used khotkeys. Should only work in kde 4.2.

You have to relogin to recreate the file with the default content.

"kcmshell4 khotkeys" will open the kcm that is doing the work. kmenuedit
could be used to assign an shortcut to the application ksnapshot.

For kde 4 i try to fix all wishes about kde not responding to
"multimedia key xyz". At least those supported by qt. the groundwork is
done.

here's what I found about making screenshots in KDE using the print
screen button.

It is configurable in System Settings->Keyboard & Mouse->Global Keyboard
Shortcuts.

There on the combo on the top pick
KDE component: KWin.

By default there are two shortcuts:
Window Screenshot to Clipboard: Alt+Print
Desktop Screenshot to Clipboard: Control+Print (there I would have expected simply Print)

Now if I copy an image to the clipboard with gimp then press
control+print, then paste with gimp, gimp tries to paste something (so
the control+print did something) but in the end fails and says that
there's no picture in the clipboard.

If I copy from gimp then press alt+printscreen then gimp pastes the image it copied so it seems alt+print screen is not detected (no action is taken when alt+printscreen is pressed).
Same with printscreen alone, no action taken.

If I try to reassign a keyboard shortcut to control+print it works (what I type on the keyboard is correctly detected as control+print).
If I try to reassign a keyboard shortcut to alt+print it says that keyboard combination is not supported by Qt (this is a bog-standard desktop keyboard, not laptop keyboard, no multimedia keys).
If I try to reassign a keyboard shortcut to print it works.

Also during this testing I managed to loose the keyboard. It just
stopped reacting to key presses. I had to log out and back in. It worked
the whole time in text ttys and when I logged out it worked immediately
in KDM.

Had this problem after Gentoo forced me to move from KDE 3.5.10 to KDE
4.3.1. Tried to start khotkeys and then it worked! But I found out that
program was a leftover from KDE3, so it would soon go away. Tried
zOOm_ER's method instead, but it did not work at first. But with an
additional step, it finally worked.

7a) Make sure that the checkbox after "Examples" is checked. Otherwise
"Examples" is grayed out and nothig below it in the tree structure will
work.

It works for me (I am also on KDE 4.5.0). I started with a new ~/.kde4
directory when I moved to the first 4.5 beta. I do not recall having
added the shortcut, but I may be wrong.

I found the entry "Print Screen" > "Print" in System Settings --> Global
Keyboard Shortcuts --> KDE component: khotkeys

Caleb, what setting is there for you? And does anyone know which config
file might I want to remove and restart KDE to reset this specific
setting? I want to make sure I did not add this myself.

I also don't have anything "Print Screen" related in khotkeys component.
