KSnapshot out of control because of toddler at keyboard

[kjjjjshab]

Anyone know a key combo that would cause KSnaphot to repeatedly open and take new snapshots, as if the Print Screen button was being held down? And/or how to stop it?

My daughter was at the keyboard and managed to hit Print Screen, I swear for only a couple of seconds, but then I could not get the cascade of KSnapshots to stop. At 150 I gave up and hit reset. Nothing else would work.

If you had ksnapshot running, it only takes an "N" to trigger it. N is on the bottom row, middle position, so I can imagine she just pushed it and held it.

exactly, until she filled the keyboard buffer (250 char?)

She could have hit "n" a bit longer without me noticing... thanks for the insight guys.

I'm still proud of her though... 14 months old, and she can already lock-up a linux machine... pretty impressive!

Yup!

Linus better watch out! His replacement is warming up!
