HOW?

[hey-thanks]

Has there been any progress on this? I am having the same issue (Windows 10 Pro, Flameshot version 11 - installed using the ready-made package on GitHub Releases). I'm willing to help out, if possible.

Nope, feel free to take a crack at it.

Reading through some of the other tickets there is some technicality that needs to be worked around. Can that get documented here? this is something straight forward I may have some time to go and do it.

@jrozner can you be more specific about the workaround that you want to have in documentations?

[jrozner]

#2335 (comment) is the comment I'm referring to. Is there something specific about the command line parsing that doesn't work on windows?

[borgmanJeremy]

I dont recall the details of the issue anymore.

Hey @gabdevbr & @jrozner!

I've remapped my keys using PowerToys and it works beautifully:

Is there anyone who could offer a little more insight/knowledge about what is causing issues with the CLI on Windows? Considering this issue has been around for 3+ years, it wouldn't surprise me if no one remembers any specifics, but it would be really helpful to have some additional insight into the issue if I decide to try fixing the issue myself. If not, no biggie.. I will just have to see what I can do without any help.

I remember. Simply, it is not implemented. Please feel free to attempt implementing it and create a PR. :) any contribution is very welcome
