The Print Screen Key under Windows

I just picked up my Apple aluminum keyboard (with the numeric keypad) and absolutely think it's the bomb. I have gotten to the point where any other keyboard just isn't as easy to use, and I do a LOT of typing at work.
That being said, there are a few keys that I use on a routine basis that don't seem to work under the Apple aluminum keyboard. I found a workaround for the Insert key (press left shift key and the zero (0) on the numeric keypad) and that's fixed, but I am at a loss to find an equivalent keypress for the Print Screen key.
I see a lot of solutions online that recommend obtaining key mapper software to make the keyboard work, but this is a locked-down environment in which all software of that kind will not work; it is therefore not an option in this case.
I'm thinking that, since there is a key equivalent for the Insert key, chances are strong that there is also a key equivalent for the Print Screen key. So, does anyone know which key combination that might be?
Thanks in advance.

Not many hardware devices ou there that don't need some sort of driver to be installed.
Some drivers are provided by the operating system, some from the hardware manufacturer.
Again, my workplace is a locked-down environment in which NO OUTSIDE SOFTWARE CAN BE INSTALLED. We're not permitted, and can get into serious trouble if we attempt it. So, it's really not worth it to try... and as we don't have "Admin" on the desktops anyway, the chances of it actually working are incredibly slim.
Again ? First time you tell about it. Like the first time you told about the non-Mac you use with the keyboard...
In other words, if it ain't in the keyboard itself, as in the "left shift/numeric keypad 0 = Insert" combo, there is nothing I can do.
I do keep the company-supplied keyboard on the same desk, off to the side, so all I have to do is reach over and hit the required keys, but I really thought there might be a way to do this, so long as someone knew the proper key combos. Perhaps there is no answer.
Perhaps...

  • Print Screen key missing

    Hello, as you know Lenovo´s design team has decided to remove the "infamous" 3 windows keys that almost nobody used... sorry but I was a daily user of the Print screen key to get screen captures pasted to my documents and presentations, if you have ever used office´s onenote you know how useful is this simple application. To my surprise with the printscreen key removal the application to gather screen clippins has gone too, what weird pundit thought this was useless? Could you suggestme  a shortcut to this operation... some simple one please!
    I won´t like to have to open a new application, use some keys combination to select the screen portion, copy and paste to the application board, save as an image file, go to your document and insert the saved file... oh my god! all this for the sake of simple design!)
    You Know Mark I am a loyal Thinkpad user, always open to innovation and I like The Edge´s concept so much  that I bought one a month ago, but don´t you think you have gone too far?. I get almost crazy when I don´t know if my disk is working or the system has stalled because there isn´t a LED to indicate disk activity. Battery charged? you must boot your notebook and watch the screen indicator, same for bluetooth and wi-fi. How to configure trackpoint and touch pad? there is no any help in any place.
    You certainly did an extraordinary design work with the keyboard, trackpoint and touchpad, and some Thinkvantage applications present, but we feel you felt short behind possible perfection with the lack of such minimum details... take a look at Thinkpadsforum of Bill Morrow to sense the controversy.
    A last question, why didn´t you use the case design concept of the X100e. A nice departure from the black box, a nice red box. By the way... without the silver trimmings that bears our Edge cafeteria´s tray as resembled to some English computer reviewer .

    hi,
    i agree with u that , changes about fn function annoying , i also surprised when i cloudnt see PrintScreen on F keys , but then i saw there s PrtSc  on right down side between AltGr - Ctrl
    and it s also bad there s no indicator lights , at least there must be on power button  , to see cpu usage etc.  it s very simple thing  , i couldnt see any reason not to put that lights ...

  • I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12

    Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.

    jajajoja
    Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Difference Matte As Substitute for Green or Blue Screen Key
    We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
    Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Best wishes.

  • Where is the green screen keying effect in Premiere Elements 12 for Mac?

    I have installed Premiere Elements 12 on My Mac, and I can't find the green screen keying effect in the efx window. Is this only available in the Windows version, or is it somewhere else in this version?

    mgeiser
    Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not come with ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key.
    Videomerge is not a renaming of GreenScreen Key. It is just a substitute suggested by some for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key that are not included in Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
    If you want a substitute for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key, I would suggest that you look at the Difference Matte under fx Effects/Keying/.
    Please check out my how to on that.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
    It has gotten a lot of good feedback from Premiere Elements Mac users.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • How to skip the Print Screen List pop-up message with standard T-code?

    Dear Experts,
    I want to do not see the Print Screen List pop-up message with standard T-code.
    Ex, sm66, sm51
    click on print button -> Print Screen List pop-up message(SAPGUI) -> print windows dialog (X)
    click on print button -> print windows dialog (O)
    Is it possible to disappear it?
    Thanks,

    Hello Mr.Lee,
    If you are refering to the print icon on the toolbar (CTRL+P), then no, it is not possible.
    This printer dialog is necessary for front-end printing so you can choose the active printer.

  • Print screen message contained in the printed screen

    Hi All,
    I recently installed forms6 onto a vista machine and have forms working fine but I have a problem where if I choose the Print Screen option from the Action menu , the message 'Print Capture beginning. Dont move or occlude window until done' actually appears in the printout. The forms screen is maximised as well.
    has anyone come across this before?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    One of our customers has the same Problem on Windows Vista: the message 'Print Capture beginning. Dont move or occlude window until done' is included in the print.
    Is there already a solution for it?
    Thanks

  • Portege R830-10V - How to get Print Screen key to work? (PRTSC)

    Please help. I am new to the Toshiba. My print screen key doesn't do anything and I need to use it every day.
    Thanks, Brenda

    Hi
    Pressing PRTSC button copies the screen shot of the display in the Systray.
    Then you can use the CTRL + V key combiantion to past this printscreen in Word or other image editig software.
    Does it work for you?
    How the PRTSC is marked on the button? Is it marked grey?
    If yes, then this means that you will need to press FN + PRTSC to print the screen

  • Trouble getting the default  user directory under Windows XP

    I m trying to get the default user directory under windows XP SP3.
    To do so, I'm using
    System.getProperty("user.home");
    I was expecting to get a path like "C:\Documents and Settings\user", nstead of that I get "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Destop".
    I checked the %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEPATH% window's environment variables and both of them are correctly set ( set to "C:\Documents and Settings\user").
    Is there any way to get the right path other than using : System.setProperty("user.home", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user"); ?

    Thanks WalterLaan,
    The System.getenv("USERPROFILE") method will, at least, fix the problem under win XP.
    I guess i'll have to write a more refined method to be able to deploy my application under differents OSes.

  • Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows

    Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows instead of connected. I would like to have the code on one monitor and the design on another

    You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.

  • Where is the green screen key in Premier Elements 10 for Mac?

    Anybody know where the green screen key feature is?  Or how to edit green screen videos?  Plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I can't find the Green Screen effect.  Thanks.

    There are some PrE Effects, that are only available on the PC, though not for the Mac, but I do not have a list handy,
    I do not recall if Green Screen Keying might be one of them.
    Perhaps our MOD, Steve Grisettin, who is fully X-platform, can comment.
    Good luck,
