Changing Screenshot Key? [SOLVED]
Yes, I know that F12 is the default key for screenshots. But for me, F12 also turns on airplane mode-- which i dO NOT want. How do I change the key for steam screenshots without it messing anything up?

EDIT: I changed my screenshot key to Ins. Thank you! Now this post can basically be used as a reference how or something :D

It's a key on the right hand side of the keyboard between the Alt and "Menu" replacing the right "Windows" key. Pressing it and one of the Function keys triggers a secondary shortcut from the Function keys; F9 usually has "Previous Track", F10 "Stop", F11 "Play/Pause" and F12 "Next Track".
My final solution was simply to put Steam Screenshots to F11. Changing stuff in user / options file, just made it reset the F12 key, even with write protection on. Works like a charm, even though it's a bit unusual.
