I love my Logitech MX Keys for Business keyboard. It is wireless, has a low profile and feels soft. I got one for work, and then one for home as well. But they turn out to be slightly different. For one of them, the screenshot key wasn’t working with my Dell Precision 5480 with Ubuntu 25.04.
First, I experimented with Ubuntu’s standard keyboard shortcut settings. When entering the shortcut, pressing the screenshot key on the built-in keyboard and my home keyboard yields “Print”. On my work keyboard, however, it yields “Shift + Super + S”.
The standard settings only allows one shortcut per function. So if I make it work for my work keyboard, it won’t work for the built-in or my home keyboard.
I found Solaar and played around a little bit, but I don’t think it can solve the problem.
But today I discovered a fix: the Dconf Editor allows setting multiple keybindings, so I can specify both signals that I could see in the standard settings.
The fix
- Install
dconf-editor
- Open it and search for the
show-screenshot-ui
setting - Untoggle “Use default value” and enter this custom value:
['Print', '<Super><Shift>S']
I think it would have made more sense to configure the keyboard to send Print for the screenshot key, so please let me know if you have input on that.
