> I'm assuming we are not the only ones that found the PrtScr button to be useful for that

I can honestly say you might be the only ones. I've never heard or even conceived of such a thing.

There are a ton of ways to avoid this in the first place:

- use CLI to take the screenshot instead of simulating a key press

- don't test on Windows 11

- use reproducible test instances where you've turned this option off

- (if screenshotting text) use... logs?

I'm truly baffled by this complaint.

If they’re programmatically pressing the PrtScr button, then hopefully it’s not too difficult to write or find a library that takes a screenshot too.
