[runtime] quick screenshot button
Steam screenshot button is f12, so I don't know if it would be better to use that or not considering that some people run the game as a non steam game. f8 makes sense to me as an in-game screenshot function, but then again such a thing may be entirely unneeded considering that most GUI operating systems come with or can be configured to have a screenshot feature.
Whatever is picked can it be easily toggable until we have a proper UI to remap buttons. For example I have my AMD driver recording hotkeys setup to involve function keys.
Should we just save the screenshot as what is set in the debug gui ("screenshot.png") or do we want it to do a steam style name + timestamp if you trigger it with the hotkey so you don't override it each screenshot?
The debug GUI will eventually go away completely for normal users, so the filename would have to be something automatic. I really don't want to program an entirely new UI for this (and nobody else probably does either) so I think that's what we're gonna stick with on that aspect: hotkey and it just saves a screenshot to some user folder.
I think "opengoal_YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.png" does the job this does limit to one screenshot per second though.
For disabling screenshot with hotkey is a simple checkbox in the screenshot debug GUI menu acceptable?
Thinking about this more it really should be mappable though the existing control mapping UI I will try to get it working though that.
I would replace opengoal with the actual game name, ie. jak1. That way we are future proofed for jak 2 and beyond, and opengoal is becoming a bit overloaded of a term.
