Enable or add a screenshot feature, fullscreen and selected area
From #205
- [ ] (13) Take a screenshot [Ctrl + Shift + 3]
- [ ] (14) Lets you select and screenshot a portion of the screen [Ctrl + Shift + 4]
I would love those shortcuts for screenshots, similar to what I use on my Mac.
If I’m not mistaken, you mentioned that there’s a native experimental screenshot feature. Hopefully that means that this wouldn't be too difficult 😁
I really hope that the screenshot could be converted to rmlines (I don’t really know), but maybe the experimental functionality just take the current page and just let you send it through Email interface :(
Maybe atn or mb could give us some insight
The fullscreen screenshot is doable, the partial screen one seems complicated to me. It is possible to export as png in the devices' /home/root or as pdf in the Files folder. I don't think it would be possible to export as rmlines as is. Let's add this for the next milestone ;)
I'm totally fine with individual png files. Or PDFs since I'm not sure that we can open png files in the reMarkable 🤔
I think this is one of native (but disabled) features. Should be doable.

Please make it so that the "screenshots" folder is automatically created. Thank you.
...the partial screen one seems complicated to me.
Maybe it’s not the most efficient way of doing the partial screenshot, but if it proves too difficult via the use of a selection tool then how about giving the following way a try: If we open a split view of only a small fraction of the same page, theoretically, could we not take a screenshot of only whatever appears in that small split view? @mb1986 @atngames
I've just verified and it would be easy to enable a full page screenshot into PNG saved in /home/root or PDF added to the documents (My Files).
This would definitely open new doors to convert that screenshot to rmlines by using Drawj2d and rmapi in the device, as someone already could run drawj2d in the device with java Here the comment

Alpha 0.0.10 - Work fine :) Please add so I can set the folder where the screenshots will be saved (for example, the "screenshots" folder)

If you do the conversion from png (or pdf) to rmlines on the device then you do not need rmapi. Java (JRE) and Drawj2d should be enough. By the way, the current release of drawj2d (1.3.3) supports the output type rmdoc (reMarkable notebook files in a zip). It might work to just unzip the file out.rmdoc to get a new notebook with the converted screenshot.
