Screenshots

Is there any other possibility to clear the screen from the UI than pressing Scrolllock? My Laptop has no Scrolllock Key and so I can't find a way to clear the screen

change the shortcut in config........

I use an AutoHotKey script, so when I press Ctrl+h it is mapped as the scroll lock key works fine.

Link to AutoHotKey http://www.autohotkey.com/

Its as simple as editing the default script to ^h::ScrollLock

^ = Ctrl, h = h key and ScrollLock means the combination maps the scroll lock key (the :: is required as well)

Its that easy, then before you open FFXIV, just open AutoHotKey before hand and the script will run automatically.

Edit:

change the shortcut in config........

Last I checked you could not map the key to hide windows, it just wasn't in config.

Try Function + F5, then print screen.

This, although some laptops are different. Look for Scroll Lock or Scl Lck somewhere on your keyboard.

HP laptops function + F5 is a media button, and seriously I think they are getting rid of scroll lock on laptops because it seems alot dont have one, AutoHotKey will allow you to set a custom shortcut as scroll lock and it works perfectly.

There should normally be a way to toggle media functions on those type of keyboards.

Its a fixed function key, there is a BIOS option to toggle whether the function keys (F1-12) default to function keys or media, brightness etc etc, but all that does is swap whether you have to press fn to use F1-12 or media etc.

Trust me I have tried EVERYTHING for scroll lock and the only way is with AutoHotKey, alot of modern laptops do NOT have a scroll lock key, mainly because for most home computing tasks its not needed, I for one have barely used a scroll lock key, but if no one believes me then meh.

Relax, noone is saying they don't believe you. I was just giving an alternative to looking for external programs to do something that many laptops can do on their own.

If Fn+F5 works, I would suggest you just use the hardware given you. If it doesn't, try out the autohotkeys. No big deal, do whatever works to get those screenshots.
