[Bug 1369644] Re: [enhancement] Should be possible to take a screen shot on the phone from the phone itself

 

I very much favor this enhancement!

iOS: Power button + Home button
Android: Power button + Volume Down
Windows: Power button + Volume Up

So there is no unified convention across different platforms. 
So let's say Power button + Volume Down it is.

Is this kind of key combination something we can implement?

** Description changed:

  Currently, the only way to take a screenshot is to attach the phone to a
  computer via USB and use phablet-screenshot.
  
  There should be a way to take a screenshot from the phone. Otherwise, it
  will be hard for people to share how great their phone is on social
  media, as well as other functions.
