Description Stefan de Konink 2019-12-31 10:54:56 CET
On my ThinkPad I have a PrtSc button next to my ctrl and alt buttons. This obviously causes some annoyances, but I also liked the fact that I could make a quick printscreen swiftly. What I do not understand is that (for usability) the applyication may launch tens of times, when just pressing the button (key down).

What I would expect:
 - key press (key down, key up) would launch the application once.

What I would like:
 - the application is only (ever) started once, if it is already launched, it gets focus.

With your proposal xfce4-screenshooter wouldn't be able to take screenshots of itself anymore, I find it very useful and users rely on this to report bugs.
I suggest you to bind "xfce4-screenshooter -r" to "Print", the region mode blocks further shortcuts to be invoked.

It is indeed a useful suggestion, which I applied. But why not make an option that would allow single time launching?
Comment 3 Andre Miranda editbugs 2020-01-07 04:14:46 CET
Because I would like to avoid feature creep.
