My OS is Ubuntu 12.04. I searched on google hundreds of times and I couldn't find any solution for desktop recorder software. There is the Kazam unstable version, but shortcut keys didn't work. I need a stable desktop recorder with keyboard shortcuts. There are many options on windows for this. But on ubuntu, I couldn't find a desktop recorder with global keyboard shortcuts.

I didnt know that recordmydesktop has shortkeys.

to pause recording, just push

control + mod1 + p (modal1 is generally left alt)

to stop recording

control + mod1 + s

that's all

Ubuntu 16.10 recordmydesktop

The default Ctrl + Alt + S global shortcut to stop recording is already taken on Ubuntu by default by Keyboard > Shortcuts Windows > Toggle shaded state.

On the GUI version (gtk-recordmydesktop), I could not find how to change that setting, so I could only change the default Ubuntu shortcut to something else.

For the CLI version (recordmydesktop) you can use:

recordmydesktop --stop-shortcut Control+Mod1+x

as explained in man recordmydesktop.

I could not find a shortcut to start recording. Does not seem to exist according to: http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/rug/app_a.php
