Difficulty Binding Print Screen key to Flameshot in i3wm

[markpopham]

Hello!
I'm using arch with i3wm on a Lenovo Yoga laptop. I've got a little Print Screen key in the top corner of my keyboard and would love to bind it to flameshot; however, it doesn't seem like this laptop uses "Print" as the symcode for the key.
Using

xev -event keyboard | egrep -o 'keycode.*\)'

and hitting the key gives me not one keysym but several at once:

keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L)

In my i3 config file I've got

bindsym Super_L+Shift_L+S exec "flameshot full --path /home/user/Pictures/"

and have tried multiple configurations including using symcodes. Is this something that is unique to this particular laptop?

Thank you!

It looks to me like you are typing into xev the sequence of keys that you want to be the final shortcut.
I'm not trying to be condescending, but are you really just pressing the single individual PrtSc key, without holding down anything else (like shift or meta)? Would you please try it again and see if it's the same output? Usually you'd get only 2 events, not 6...
I have remapped even the power-up/shutdown key, this one clearly was not intended to be used as a regular key for typing, but it works nonetheless.

Can you try this binding and see if it works?
bindcode Mod4+107 exec "flameshot full --path /home/user/Pictures/"

Hahaha, no, I totally understand you're not trying to be condescending! It is very surprising - hitting JUST the PrtSc key gives the following:

keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return) keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L)

and each subsequent press gives

keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 39 (keysym 0x53, S) keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L) keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L)

You can find a screencapture below (I bound it to another key for right now)

Unfortunately, the binding provided doesn't work.

from my config:

bindsym --release Print exec flameshot gui
