Screenshot Key Needed

I know that we can press print-screen and then paste it in an external program and save it, or set up third party software to do the screencaps, or fiddle around with a number of external things... but... a screenshot key (make it cap at the set resolution with wysiwyg results) would work wonders for providing image feedback. Have it set to send to a AoCScreens folder in the main "pictures" system folder.

While it sounds like a cosmetic addition - it is an extremely valuable tool for testing and providing feedback - especially if the in-game bug-feedback can access those screenshots. I'd love short video clips too - but, that is asking for a new car when coffee for breakfast will suffice, so having a screenshot key for alpha onward would be great!

    i used the combo of pressing Shift+windows+s then select the part i wanna make a screenshot of. then i go to my personal discord on a special locked channel post the picture there. then simply copie that link from the picture in discord and add it to the bugreport if needed.

    Simple and fast for me an picture can be viewed in any browser no need to download it to a pc or server. and so also saveing hdd space (shure 1 pic aint much mb but if several k pics getting sended it gets fast into the terrabite)

    just like unknown.png

    I do think a screenshot key is needed.

    With this type of implementation, every time a screenshot is taken, the .png/.jpeg (etc) should be stored automatically in an "ashes of creation pictures" folder somewhere in the OS directory that the user can locate easily.

    The game should also mention that the image has been saved in your local OS directory with the path location.
