How to change PrtSc key to right-click in ubuntu 17.10?












0















I have Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 which has "PrtSc" key on the keyboard. I personally find this key totally useless as I prefer using Screenshot application to select the required area and take a snapshot. I am trying to change it's functionality to enabling "right click". But I am not able to find this setting. How to do it?

  • Just a pointer, capturing screenshot of a selected area should be accessible by <shift>+<PrtSc>.

  • @pomsky Thank you so much for your input. Actually I have already done this. But I want to basically change its functionality to "Right Click" whenever I click on any icon or file or directory.

  • @pomsky that's the catch here. My keyboard does not have Menu Key and I really want to configure my PrtSc key into Menu Key. PrtSc is in between Alt and Ctrl on Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14.

  • Yes. shift+f10 always works. Thank you for your input. I am waiting for some new answers.

  • shift+f10 does bring up a context menu but if the focus of the mouse pointer is in an application, Firefox for instance, then the context menu inside Firefox is brought up. The OP said "I prefer using Screenshot application..." so that is not exactly his end goal IMO. See askubuntu.com/a/254822/340383 for reference to how Gnome binds these keys.

As a workaround you may access the right click functionality by (the "menu" key) or Shift+F10 combintion.



The menu key looks like this:

    I had the same problem with my T480 with Linux Mint 19 but I managed to fix it using these steps from Fedora forum:





    1. Save the current keyboard map to a new file



      xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap




    2. In the file find




      keycode 107 = Print Sys_Req Print Sys_Req




      change it to




      keycode 107 = Menu NoSymbol Menu




      and save it.




    3. Load the modified keymap



      xmodmap ~/.xmodmap




    Now it should work (it does for me) but reboot makes it into default settings.



    To fix that, I added the command from step 3. as a start-up command. All works great now.
