Indeed. It should do.

I suggest you are using Ubuntu, GNOME and Compiz as your window manager?
If I Compiz is your window manager (activated desktop effects) please
check the following:

Check your advanced compiz settings. It should look like this
(Backend=GConf):
http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/10862/screenshot_100_522__0qQ9N4.png

To get here, System ▸ Preferences ▸ CompizConfig Settings Manager ▸
Preferences

(Install it via `sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager` if
it is not installed already)

Additionally it is important to activate the GNOME Compatibility plugin,
see:

http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/37291/compizconfig_settings_manager_010_vBCRpw.png

Does this solve your problem?

I'm running Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64) with GNOME, but not Compiz. Is it required?

Thanks,

Irene

No, of course it is not. Would you please check your gconf settings
after configuring the hotkey in Shutter's preferences dialog and post a
screenshot here?

Execute gconf-editor via terminal. The relevant sections are
/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings

It should look like this:

Ok, thanks. Your configuration looks good. I'll setup a fedora machine
to see if it is anything platform specific.

I'll notify you as soon as possible.

Yes, that does work, thank you. The popup that appears when you're editing the field says that "the parser....allows upper or lower case...", so I didn't bother upper casing it... While this does work, it doesn't do all that I was looking for... Is there a way to use it to capture windows when there is a pulldown menu in a web page or a popup (such as the one I mentioned for editing the preferences field)?

Thank you,

Irene

The text is copied from gconf-editor itself, see:
http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/37759/configuration_editor___global_keybindings_016_mJ9jHF.png

Currently Shutter does not check the input to be valid and I am not sure
if there is any API to do this. I'll check that, thx.

I don't know if I understand you correctly, but keybindings do not work
in general when menus or popup windows do have the focus.

In this case you have to configure a delay (you can configure it via
statusbar at the bottom or via preferences). Then you can select a
window and activate the pulldown menu or popup while waiting for the
countdown to start the capture.

You can also use the dedicated functions to capture a menu or a tooltip,
but these functions can not be accessed via keybindings right now - this
is already under construction.

OK - that makes sense. However, when I use menu with a delay set, and then go to my browser (Firefox 3.5.6) and click the down-arrow to display the field pulldown menu, after the delay Shutter says "no window with type 'menu' detected".

Thank you,
Irene

Firefox doesn't seem to provide the correct window type for it's
pulldown menus and popups.
You might want to try Epiphany (GNOME's Webkit Browser) to see how it is
supposed to work. At least I am able to capture the pulldown menus on
http://www.google.de/advanced_search?hl=en correctly.
I don't know if it is possible to implement a workaround if applications
doesn't deliver the correct type hint but this would be a good task for
one of the next versions of Shutter.

Regards
Mario

I installed Epiphany and was able to capture the pulldown menu and see what you're referring to. I'll have to use it whenever I need a screenshot of that kind. Thank you very much for your help with this!

Thanks Mario Kemper (Romario), that solved my question.
