F5 for screenshoot doesn't work

[marekjedrzejewski]

Clicking F5 doesn't capture screenshot. At least it's not showing info about doing so and after you quit Portal 2 there's no window asking about publishing or deleting screenshot. Checked if that's only the Portal 2 issue and yes. In Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2 it works.

Did you try using the Steam overlay's f12 hotkey? That worked fine for me.

[marekjedrzejewski]

F12 worked. And it got me wondering why making 2 keys for the exact same action instead of just defaulting the key to F12, but still make it changable if someone wanted to set it elsewhere.

[jacobmischka]

Well F12 is completely independent of the game, it's the overlay doing it. But I agree, it's silly to include the screencap option in the controls for valve games.

I know it's from steam overlay, but that's valve game and they know it runs on steam ;)

F5 does work for me but gives no feedback at all. Screenshots are saved correctly to ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal 2/portal2/screenshots.
