Hit PrtSc on new keyboard layout and lost clipboard data?

The new keyboard layout place the PrtSc button at the bottom row of the keyboard between left Alt anc Ctrl.
I think some of you might have already tried that, when you try to press the right Ctrl or Alt (for example try to press Ctrl+V... etc) or even just accidentally hit the PrtSc key, and then the text that you copied will be cleared in the clipboard so you need to go back and copy again.
Even worse: You can't recover if you cut and closed the application, then hit PrtSc and let the clipboard to be overwritten!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two ways to deal with the problem: (1) bypass Windows print sceren functionality or (2) install a clipboard manager.
To bypass Windows print sceren functionality you can install a program. An opensource example is Lightscreen. You can configure it to directly save the print screen into your document directory instead of overwriting the clipboard. There is an extra benefit, that you don't need to do print screen, then open Paint, then paste, then save the image just to upload or save it.
An opensource example of clipboard manager is Ditto. It tracks changes in the clipboard and save a history of everything. In case if the PrtSc key overwritten the clipboard, most of the time you will be able to recover.

  • We need new keyboard layout in Korea.

    Hi~
    We need new keyboard layout in Korea.
    The Google offers new keyboard layout for the Korean language.
    It is called 'single vowel keyboard'
    It has 4 less keys. So one key size can be wider than that of qwerty keyboard.
    It is much easier to type and creates much less mistyping.
    I hope apple would offer the same keyboard layout.
    Sincerely,

    Here is the image file of new keyboard layout.
    I hope it will help.

  • Help.......I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS

    I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS.  In the collections i get the messageI then locate the file in the new drive :
    i locate the file and receive this message
    How can i get the Collection to redirect to the new location??   I have about  a LOT of missing pics in Collections. 
    Thank you!  Jamie

    Thank your for responding.......
    To clarify....I moved LIGHTROOM to a new hard drive....including 1) Working catalogs, 2) Working exports, and 3) Working Originals.  I now know i did not follow correct procedure for "moving a catalog".  I dragged  it to the new hard drive. Yikes!!
    (I was at Imaging last week and spoke to Julianne Kost, she recommended that i use the FIND link....but this gave me the same result as i am speaking about above.)
    To Clarify......The Collections are listed. The target path to the images did not change when i moved to the new hard drive.
    There is an exclamation point in the right hand corner of the images in each collection.  When i click on the exclamation mark i get the message....."“JK_120214_7782.NEF” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I then locate the file IN THE NEW current DRIVE...at which time i click on it and i receive the message.....
    this file is associated with another photo in the catalog.... each file can only be associated with one photo.  Then if i choose to show in library....it points to the image in the FOLDER  tab...which is in fact where the image is located. 
    Up to this point, when i need one of these older collections i have had to recreate.  i have manually gone to the original.....in the FOLDER tab, found the image and added to the Collections again.  Then i go back and delete all the files with the ! ......a long and tedious task.  I was hoping there was an easier way to recreate my "collections".
    Initially i was going to just MOVE the entire library again ( the correct way) ....which i should've done i believe.  Now i have imported more jobs and have created additional collections , so i'd love to find a short cut!
    I hope this is a bit more clear!!
    Thank you.

  • Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
    The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
    Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
    over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
    If you want to  keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
    The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
    Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

    No. Not if you didn't have them backed up somewhere.

  • Keyboard layout and Sun Ray

    Hi all,
    We're using the Sun Rays in a VDI environment, but there is a mixture in keyboard layouts: qwerty and azerty.
    The session detects the correct keyboard layout, but it doesn't pass it to uttsc.
    Is there any way to detect the keyboard layout and pass it manually?
    Regards,

    Restore the iPhone from your backup.

    Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

  • Did 8.1 upgrade on iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data

    Today October 26th I was prompted for 8.1 upgrade to fix minor bugs. Did 8.1 upgrade on my iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data. I see an itunes icon with a charger pointing  to it on the screen. I plugged the pphone to the laptop and get is itunes detected iPhone in recovery mode, you must restart the phone before you update ...and the download is taking 5 hours and i have 320 mbps download speed
    Apple thinks i have an older phone and need to throw it and buy their new iphone 6. if thats the case, here is my middle finger... am going with some other OS

    Apple doesn't care if you buy a newer phone or not.  Apple doesn't need your new iPhone purchase.  There are millions of people that have properly working older iPhones that voluntarily upgrade.
    Your device crashed, and it could have been caused by any number of root causes, many of them not controlled by Apple.  Third party app, interruption of internet connection, interruption of power, etc.
    If you came here to give the middle finger to Apple (childish behavior by the way), you're in the wrong place.  Go to www.apple.com/feedback.

  • Loaded ios 6 onto my i phone and lost all data can it be retrieved

    loaded ios6 onto my i phone and lost all data. not too worried about apps but lost contacts, all music downloaded onto i phone and photos, Is there any way it can be retrieved?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • Synced my iPhone and lost some data

    Synced my iPhone and lost some data (not all) in contacts.  Sync worked before.  How do I get back to before sync?

    You're welcome.
    Does having Outlook 2007 mean you are syncing your iPhone Contacts with Outlook 2007 and the contacts were lost there as well?
    If so and if your routine computer backup includes your Outlook data, restore your Outlook contacts from your Outlook data backup.

  • [Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

    Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
    Did I miss some config file?
    For the sake of clarity:
    1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
    2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
    3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
    4)
    $ locale
    LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
    Thanks for any help.

    I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
    Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

  • Creating new keyboard layout

    My last Mac model was 7500 (long time ago) with Mac OS 7.x. Since then I used PC with Windows OS, and now I am back to the game again. Mac OS is changed significantly since then, so I have to start from begining.
    Now, because Macedonian keyboard has not the same layout as in Win OS I would like to redefine it, or to create a new one. I could do it then (with some tricks that I forgot) but not now. Can anybody help me to do it, please?

    you can use Ukelele to create a custom keyboard layout
