I know, the pre-installed screenshot applications usually have a screenshot countdown feature. But how can I take immediate screenshots of context menus?

This includes:

Firefox main menu.
Firefox download menu.
Right click context menu on taskbar tray items.
Collapsed File-Edit-View menus.
Right-click menu for files in file manager.

When pressing the print key, these context menus hide immediately before the screen is grabbed. How can I make the context menus stay while pressing the print (screenshot) key?

Not sure whether it's (easily) doable without using the countdown timer feature. – pomsky Oct 21 '18 at 23:18
So you don't want the area surrounding the context menu? – DK Bose Oct 21 '18 at 23:47

But @WinEunuuchs2Unix it seems OP is aware of that, but doesn't want to use it: "But how can I take immediate* screenshots of context menus?*" (emphasis mine) – pomsky Oct 22 '18 at 00:10

@pomsky sorry it's late after all day research. I'll retract my close vote. thanks :) – WinEunuuchs2Unix Oct 22 '18 at 00:21
@DKBose Yes, I wish to capture the whole screen immediately but without the context menu hiding. – neverMind9 Oct 22 '18 at 00:34
@WinEunuuchs2Unix Thank you for retracting your closevote. – neverMind9 Oct 22 '18 at 00:34

I've tried several of the common screen capture tools and haven't come across any that can do what you want. – DK Bose Oct 22 '18 at 04:22
