hmm, you're talking about global hotkeys? I believe this doesn't work because any keypress is first handled by the OS and pressing a key causes the context menu to close. I hope we can mitigate this by making finally the PrintKey work, this one would be handled prior to being sent to the OS. The #239 issue will hopefully resolve this one too. I'm personally annoyed by this one too so it might get implemented soon ;)

I suppose capturing such menus/objects can be tricky. Some commercial programs have special command- 'Capture Object' for such stuff- my example was system tray commands with sub-menus (cascading menus). I even tried command 'New - Active Window' plus 'Delay' without success (the result was blank image).

Oh, you talk about just capturing the context menu? There is no logic in ksnip that supports that feature. We can capture only windows/frames and this by getting the active windows rectangle and a screenshot of the whole screen, then cropping out the rest. It might be possible to do the same for context menus. Not sure how difficult it will be, haven't looked into such feature at all.

To capture that kind of nested menus (but not only the menus, of course) I put a delay of 9 seconds in Ksnip and then click on "Capture rectangular area", to open the cascading menus just opened. Is not what you was trying to do?

Yes, this normally works. Sometimes the clicks do not go through during the delay --- but it's not reproducible here, and aborting and restarting the capture normally fixes it.

This just happened to me. If I set a delay, I can't click and open menus... Is this normal behaviour?

Using RockyLinux 8.6, KSnip v1.9.1

@SonGokussj4 try reducing the Implicit delay, up to 0. Options > Settings > Image Grabber > Implicit capture delay

Not existing in my version.
I'll try to install newest from rpm tomorrow
