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.

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.

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?

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