Any Advice on Customizing a New Logi MK 670 Keyboard for Screen Copy?
Mar 27, 2024 09:06:41 #
Probably a major non-issue for most serious UHH keyboard users but here is my question: I had to replace my older Logi keyboard with a new Logi MK 670 Combo keyboard. The older keyboard had a Screen Copy key. I used the key—only for my personal use for many of my routine saves of editorial, cartoons, photos, political cartoons, etc. At any rate, there is no Screen Copy key on the new keyboard. I have learned to click the FN key with the F7 and do a routine sequence from several of the resulting choices. And I do not want to copy an app from an unknown. Does any UHH know how to customize the keyboard so I can just use one key for a Screen Copy? If not, I will continue my use of the FN and F7 keys process.

I think Windows comes with a snipper tool. If not, Snip and Sketch can be downloaded from Microsoft, a fairly well known entity.
Personally, I use the very popular and free snipper tool from https://getgreenshot.org/ called Greenshot.exe. Mine works with the print screen key. Not sure of other hot keys. I've not seen a keyboard w/o a Print Screen key, and I've seen quite a few. Pretty sure even my IBM PC XT had one but that was over 40 years ago so memory is vague.

Linda From Maine, Thanks for this link. The Fn + F7 key on my keyboard allows me to access the Snipping Tool.

That sounds like a major error. "Prt Sc" has been a standard on keyboards for decades. Some keyboards have a key for the calculator and keys for speaker volume, but they're extras. I'd return a kbd without the print-screen key. I use that every day.
EDITED: Now I see the reason for that omission: there is no room on the keyboard for that key! 🤣

jerryc41, You are correct about the smaller size of the keyboard. I liked the ergonomics of the 670 and did not want a really large keyboard. I just did not expect the absence of the Screen Copy key. I checked at Best Buy (where I purchased the keyboard) and they were not aware of Screen Copy key deletion either. I would rather resort to the Fn +F7 keys than a desk filling keyboard. I was just hoping for a customized single fast key fix.

Too bad IBM isn’t still in the keyboard business (are they?). Their keyboards had a perfect tactical feel and positive tactical feedback when a key was depressed - may still use old ones for this reason.
