Problems with the screenshot shortcut

Every time I press the S and T keys, Gnome launches the screenshot app. I’ve already reset all the shortcuts, but it didn’t work. Now I’m forced to use the virtual accessibility keyboard. Help!!!

Re: Problems with the screenshot shortcut

1. is it gnome that binds that shortcut? wayland or X11?
2. what "screenshot app"?
3. If this (also) happens on X11, run

sleep 5; xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"

press the "shortcut" before xdotool fires and don't release it until afterwards (regardless whether some window shows up)
The grabs will then be listed in your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General - conveniently the active one will be the relevant one.

4. "Help!!!" - don't do that.
