Shortcut not working

[cif2cif]

I have Ubuntu 19.10 and the keyboard shortcut to start/stop recording is not working on my computer. I have restarted the machine after changing the shortcut.

Expected Behavior

Pressing the shortcut, easyscreencast should start recording.

Current Behavior

The shortcut is not active.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Press shortcut to start recording
2. No record :(

I managed to make the shortcut work.
Please try this one and explain if it worked. @cif2cif

system-wide | requires superuser privilegies | long term solution

sudo cp $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/EasyScreenCast@iacopodeenosee.gmail.com/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.easyscreencast.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

local | does not require superuser privilegies | single use | might not work, untested

gsettings --schemadir "$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/EasyScreenCast@iacopodeenosee.gmail.com/schemas/" set org.gnome.shell.extensions.EasyScreenCast shortcut-key ['<Super>e']

If it resolved, please do not close the issue - for others to see this solution.

Thanks, unfortunately, it is not working. I have installed the extension dash-to-panel and copied the schema, but the shortcut is not working. I have restarted the extension, just in case.

Hmm, I was too quick to post since it is midnight right now and was about to go to sleep, so bear with me. I updated. There is no need for Dash To Panel. @cif2cif

Could you please test if it works before restart of the extension and only if it doesn't - restart the extension and report here.

However the offtopic problem with EasyScreenCast is that it is only recording the microphone and not the computer sounds. There is no setting to record the computer sounds which is sad.

Also I do recommend Green Recorder since it worked for me almost perfectly.

However it seems to not support hotkeys.

Wich also does not support hotkeys.

This one seems to support hotkeys, haven't tested.

Thank you so much for your help. Unfortunately, the hotkey is still not working. Thanks, I was testing them but I liked that easyscreencast produces directly mp4. Thanks again!
