  • Have you tried using the keyboard shortcut settings? In the dash type "keyboard" to open the keyboard settings dialog. Select tab Shortcuts, then click Windows and select Activate the Windows Menu.

First, add the following line at the end of ~/.Xmodmap file:

keycode 107 = Menu

Second, run this command in terminal:

xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

Third, go to System settings → Keyboard, select Shortcuts tab, go to Screenshots and disable or change the value for Take a screenshoot (this doesn't have to be anymore Print key)
