Hi,

the graphical Debian Installer provides a Screenshot button but I'm
unable to access it. There is no possibility to select this button
using TAB and cursor keys. I also tried the Print key without success.

I suggest that Alt+S makes a screenshot (and the shortcut should be
visible in the button via an underlines S).

Please note that serial mice for button selections are currently not supported.

Most g-i usability issues should be reassigned to cdebconf-gtk

that is intentional: when i wrote the GTK frontend, i supposed people
using the keyboard only would appreciate skipping of the screenshot
button during button tabbing, so that they could access the other
interface's elements more quickly.

i think this can be done, but what about languages where "screenshot" is
translated in a word that does not contain the "s" character ?
d-b people, should this functionality be implemented anyhow?

Ah, OK. But about about mouse support? Are there plans to support more
mice?

The usual way to solve this is to mark the shortcut using _ in the
button name: "_Snapshot". A translation could use "Schn_appschuss".

I don't know much about gtk, but it should not require further action
from your side.

Yeah, but Jens seems to mention that tabbing doesn't work.


Would be a bad idea, yes.

Mapping it to the PrtScr key could be a good idea, as Jens suggested.

No, tabbing works well. I just cannot select the screenshot button with
it.

that's correct: i disabled tabbing to the screenshot button, but this
can be re-enabled.

the screenshot button was indeed added because not all keyborards have a
prtsc button.. :(
I don't see a way out, unless re-enabling tabbing to the screenshot button.

What's wrong with adding more than one way to allow for creating
screenshots? You'd need some caption on the screenshot button that would
show that a screenshot can also be taken with the PrtScr button, but
that's about it.

if you hit the prncs button, a screenshot will be actually saved by the
underlying dfb subsytem, while the screeenshot button saves the screen
at the GDK level.
The screenshot button was introduced because not all archs had a prnsc
button.

We previously stated we won't add a shortcut other than the PrtSc button
to the "Screenshot" button: shall this bug be closed?
