IMHO one of the nice features of RISC OS is that if you want to print from any application, you don't necessarily use a menu or click on a button, but just hit the Print key (or Print Scrn key on present keyboards).
But under Virtual RPC-SE hitting the Print key has no effect! Or at least on my setup it doesn't.

How can I restore this nice feature???

Thanks in advance,

Hi!

Nobody replied to my post quoted above, so I am re-posting it again.

Any solutions? Aaron?

Thanks in advance,

Virtual Acorn uses DirectX for keyboard handling. DirectX ignores (or is not told about) PrintScrn keypresses, thus Virtual Acorn cannot use that key.

Oddly Win32 does get a key up when the key is released so it may be possible to emulate it albeit unreliably
