Screenshots not using power button?
I've decided to wait for the patches on the new firmware, and have spent my time searching all the kobopatch .yaml files for "Enabled: no", looking for the patch that allows the use of the power button to take screenshots (I know the function is not enabled on my Libra) . I didn't find the patch, but while searching for it, I wondered if there was any way to take screenshots without using this patch? The case I ordered for my Libra the day before I bought the reader has yet to arrive, and I've got used to not using one. This means that I use the Power button a lot to put the reader to sleep. So having a way to take screenshots without using the power button would be very handy. Does such sorcery exist?

You can use NickelMenu to either:
- Enable/disable [FeatureSettings] Screenshots (it's a config entry).
- Run fbgrab from FBInk to take a screenshot.

Thanks! I don't think of myself as enough of a tinkerer to need NickelMenu, so I'll either change the config entry, or just use my phone when I want a screencap.
