bindsym for screenshot partially not working

asked 2015-09-22 15:19:05 +0000

I want to have different ways of making a screenshot, handy with a key combination.

So this is what I came up with.. Print for the regular screenshots, Shift+print for selection only and $mod+print+shift for the active window.

bindsym Print exec "scrot -m '/home/user/Pictures/screenshots/%s_%H%M_%d.%m.%Y_$wx$h.png'"
bindsym Shift+Print exec "scrot -s '/home/user/Pictures/screenshots/%s_%H%M_%d%m%Y_$wx$h.png'"
bindsym $mod+Shift+Print exec "scrot -u -d 4 '/home/user/Pictures/screenshots/%s_%H%M_%d%m%Y_$wx$h.png'"

Regular screenshots and screenshots of the active window work fine. The Shift+Print, for the selection screenshot doesn't work at all. The command itself works perfectly fine in the terminal, but not when run with the key combination.

What am I missing?
