HOWTO:Make a custom Screenshot Hotkey
From ISBoxer
This guide details how to quickly set up a custom Screenshot Hotkey, with a few options like whether to capture the full desktop, or an individual game window.
Minimum versions required:
- ISBoxer 40.3.0731.2 (check or update via Help->About)
- Inner Space build 5663 (hover your cursor over the Inner Space icon to check version; to update just close and restart Inner Space)
Contents
Use the Mapped Key Wizard
- In the Wizards menu (or by right clicking a Key Map in the top left pane), select Mapped Key Wizard
- On the first page of the wizard, select a Key Map for your new Hotkey. "Always On" or "Control" might be appropriate, unless your Hotkey might interfere with your ability to do something else
- Next you'll be asked to pick a type of Mapped Key to create. Select Screenshot from the drop-down box, and click Next. On the final screen you will have options to configure your Mapped Key.
- Click the < to select a Hotkey.
- Everything but the Hotkey is pre-configured for you to capture a full desktop screenshot in PNG format.
- The "Use DirectX-based capture" box will allow you to take full-resolution screenshots of game windows that are scaled down, whereas a full desktop screenshot will show all windows as you actually see them. However, a DirectX capture will not include Video FX.
- The 'Filename template' by default is "{CHARACTERSET} - {CHARACTER} - {DATETIME}". These and {SLOT} are currently the only available variables.
- After finishing the wizard, remember to Export to Inner Space to activate your changes
Where to find your Screenshots
ISBoxer's screenshots will be stored in Inner Space's Screenshots folder, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\InnerSpace\Screenshots for a typical installation.
Further customizations available
The Mapped Key Wizard does not show some advanced options that are available in the created Mapped Key. It is possible to set up time-delayed and auto-recurring Screenshots. A custom region can also be specified to capture only a partial screenshot.
