After they replaced the menu key with the printscreen (!) key, I'm not so sure that this distinction exists anymore. They should have never played around with the keyboard.
- Stratoscope 7y agoOh, I agree completely! I didn't mean to imply that Lenovo has been a perfect steward of the ThinkPad brand, far from it. But I think there is still some distinction vs. IdeaPad, especially regarding the malware being discussed here. If you're running Windows, you can use AutoHotkey to turn PrtSc back into a Menu key, while keeping access to the screenshot function when you use the Windows key as a modifier. Just copy this snippet into a .ahk script that you run at startup: ; Remap the PrtSc key: ; PrtSc -> Menu (like an old ThinkPad keyboard) ; Windows+PrtSc -> Screenshot of all monitors ; Windows+Alt+PrtSc -> Screenshot of current window PrintScreen:: AppsKey #PrintScreen:: PrintScreen #!PrintScreen:: Send {Alt Down}{PrintScreen}{Alt Up} This doesn't fix all the keyboard changes, but at least it makes that one pretty easy to live with. https://www.autohotkey.com/ https://www.autohotkey.com/
