PRINT SCREEN Button Option in Settings.

[DarthLyte]

I would like to use my print screen / Page up buttons to use as a Quick Print screen. Since my keyboard and most have the buttons, they should also be an option. Thanks for u'r time and have a smiley day!

Because if allowed, then Print Screen would be used for both your OS function and Steam Client function at the same time. Print Screen as an OS funtion over-writes whatever is in Clipboard for each instance it is used. So there is a reason Steam would not allow that key to be used.

Print Screen key captures image to OS clipboard
But also, so does Ctrl+C (Copied Text goes to Clipboard) Ctrl+V (Takes last available Clipboard text/image data and pastes it to target)
These all share the Clipboard; so using Print Screen within Steam Client is not a good idea.
You have all those F keys for a reason. If your game already has a Screenshot Hotkey, disable that to make room for the one you wish to use for Steam Client. If using multiple Game Clients at the same time (say Steam + Uplay) then ensure your Screenshot hotkey is not the same for both; otherwise you may have poor performance when taking shots, plus in this example, the Uplay overlay would also be visable in the Steam screenshot; and vice-versa.

Cool. Ya i had thought of that-Halfway at least. I know About Ctrl+C & V. I have to use it to copy text and what not for World of Tanks in game Chat for things like "Stay alive even when Badly Damaged"., so i dont have to type it in each round. But that would make since. I figured Windows had Print Screen Disabled or had it so steam/other programs wouldn't reconize it. Two Screen shots taken at the same time with different programs would not be bad in my opinion though cause each should save to it's OWN CLIPBORD... Steam has that pop up at the end of a game so it Should Have it's Own Virtual Clipboard to deal in it's own Format if it has one and Jpeg,Pdf,Pda, etc, as options to save the Image As. It do believe that steam has the option to save an uncompressed copy as well as upload the pic wich does kinda make it pointless though. Any way thanks for the response i appreciate it. Have a Smiley Day!!!

Yes in-game screenshots; those won't go to Clip Board.
But one of those screenshots would if Print Screen was allowed as your game client hotkey; thus also wiping out text you had copied, to have ready to paste at a later time.

As far as screenshots in Steam; they get fair amount of compression % auto-applied to them, and saved as JPG

However, if you'd like un-compressed screenshot (which retain full quality) Steam has an option in the Client for that. While it would be extra manual work; if you did not like a screenshot steam compressed, you could then replace it with an uncompressed version, prior to your screenshots upload process. As long as the uncompressed version does not exceed Steam's size-per-file limits.
