Users should be able to use a hotkey to take screenshots of whatever video is playing on the client, and have it save to a folder similarly to VLC Media player. ---

Just catching up on this request (though it hasn’t gained much attention/votes over the last months). Shouldn’t that be covered by the basic screenshot features of modern OS (e.g. `⇧`+`[Windows/Start]`+`S` for Windows 10 or `⇧`+`⌘`+[`3`|`4`|`5`] on macOS)? ---
