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

 

We definitely need some immediate visual feedback of the screen capture.
I like the simple animation in the video as it's very fast and not very
intrusive for the user. Adding shutter release sound that we use in
Camera application would be a plus.

Maybe adding an item to the notification center as Cimi suggested might
be quite nice idea for the future. At least there would be a direct link
to the photo available conveniently.


** 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.

  Proposed design:
- For triggering: Volume Up + Volume Down
+ - For triggering: Volume Up + Volume Down
+ - For indicating the user: White layer opacity animation shown in attached video + shutter sound
