Speaking of screenshots.

Can we please agree that the OS should not send any event to applications while a screenshot is being made?

It is very annoying if you press a screenshot button and suddenly menus disappear. Or much worse, the application sends a "screenshot taken" message back to the social media platform.

I also can't stand Android preventing me from taking a screenshot. It's on my screen, I have the right to take a screenshot.

I understand the technical limit of taking screenshots of DRM-protected content (e.g. Netflix), but why would my bank app be allowed to stop me from taking screenshots?

You can mod the APK and remove those detections using ReVanced Manager

Solution: don't use mobile bank apps.

I'm forced to use a bank app in order to authenticate, even if I want to login on the desktop website. I think it's because of an EU regulation for strong authentication.

The implementation causing you issues is from the bank, not from the EU regulation.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_customer_authentication for details

The MacOS built-in screenshot tool has an optional "timed delay" feature, where you can click "screenshot in 5 seconds". With that time, you can open menus, or do anything that requires events to be processed by the application. Very handy for screenshots that require something to be clicked on.

I mean, I can probably do the same in X11 using xwd, with a sleep.

But I just don't want my screenshot button to do anything else than taking a screenshot.
