Alt+P for Printscreen (v0.20)

Not sure this is a bug as such, but the ALT+P for printscreen only works with the right hand ALT GR key, and not the usual left hand ALT key. Cool feature though!

Here's a suggestion - could the filenames match the name of the dungeon they were taken from, rather than RTC_****?

Don't you mean the other way round (it works with Alt but not with Alt GR?). In any case, yes it'll be a bug, I didn't think about trapping the keystrokes for both Alt keys!

As for the naming, yes, I thought about it, but didn't implement it for no good reason - if you think it's a good idea then I'll put it in...

Nope, definitely the right hand ALT works and the left doesn't.

However, I did spill an entire glass of orange juice into the keyboard a couple of weeks ago, and although I cleaned it thoroughly, there might be something sticky still in there causing problems...

I was looking at this last night and couldn't for the life of me work out what was wrong...until it dawned on me that I'd given you all the wrong instructions. It's not Alt+P, but Ctrl+P, and that does indeed work with both keys.

The reason that Alt GR+P works at all is that this sends a Ctrl character to the application as well as it's own keycode.

Oh well, I'll check what I write next time ;-)
