Disabling Print Screen keyHi, My Print Screen key is too close to BackSpace, so I keep pressing it I checked the key assignments of KDE, and I found no shortcut for the My Google searchs did not help (even on this list). So, I decided to disable the key. Using "xev", I saw that the keycode was 111: .... Indeed, "xmodmap -pk" gave: ... So, I did "xmodmap -e "keysym Print = BackSpace"". Now, "xev" gives: .... and "xmodmap -pk" gives: ... But still, KSnapshot pops up, and the backspace has no effect. Any suggestions or ideas (other than remove the key physically)??

First, thanks for the reply!

No, I haven't... As I stated in the beginning, I checked it to make sure.
Now, I am at work using Fedora Core 5, and again the PrtSc key is NOT
set in KDE, but pressing starts KSnapshot (which I find quite funny).
On the other hand, here I can make it work as BackSpace with "xmodmap
-e "keysym Print = BackSpace"" (which did not work with Debian). So,
I assume it is a Debian-related problem...
By the way, I am using Etch, with the Debian kernel 2.6.18-k7.
Thanks!
Luis

Found it. It is in (err... sorry, non-English KDE) Regional &
Accessibility -> Input Actions (?) -> Preset Actions -> PrintScreen. If
you look for "gestures" in Control Center, it will pop up immediately.

I found it in Fedora (but did not try it since I had already disabled
the button). I will try it with Debian when I get home. Thanks!!!
On the other hand, I still don't see why the key wasn't disabled by
the "xmodmap -e" command... Is that a bug??
Thanks again,
Luis

Dear Luís,
I lost the beginning of this thread. :-( So, I may not know what you're
talking about here.

This is really weird, but I'm using a plain window manager here in my
system (not using "a heavier" Desktop Environment, as the resources here
lack the horsepower). :-/

Yes, I *think* that it would be problematic, especially regarding the
Magic Sysrq function of the kernel, which IMVHO, is essential as a
fallback to issues that may arise (especially when X stops responding).

Now, this is funny. I'm using similar things here (but in a different
architecture, powerpc), but again, without a DE (and, in particular,
KDE).
