Please consider changing the snapshot to disk button we use to CTRL ~.
Here's my reasoning. When a photog is shooting, you need to be able to rapidly move the camera around, using CTRL, ALT mouse, to zoom and pan. I used to just to flick a finger up and hit ~ and bam, theres the pic I wanted. now, with this new change, my hand has to leave the mouse, which makes it hard to catch those good shots from moving poses, such as dance anims, or have an interesting pretzel of fingers going on as my left hand tries to do what it used to :P If you can figure out a way to have us use our left hand to make the shot, and our right hand can stay on the mouse, it would be oh, so appreciated. Thanks for listening,

Jordan.

Hey Jordan,

It's currently Ctrl-`. Ctrl-~ would actually be Ctrl-Shift-`, which is a trickier chord. Like yourself, I'm an avid shutterbug--but these keys can still be reached with one hand.

The earlier obstacle with "`" alone happened to do with having chatbar open, aka the:
````````````````
problem.

If you have a macro program, you can also remap keys to a degree (I have Ctrl-Space set up to trigger Instant Message window).

If you have a better suggestion for a shortcut (some were already tried and found to be problematic), please email me: [email]torley@lindenlab.com[/email]!

Happy snapping.
