[Tutor] How to capture 'Ctrl+c' in Python

[Chris Hengge]

Nevermind, I just realised my problem with the script I just sent.

I'm using a laptop right now and the print screen key is FN+ Insert.... FN
isn't mappable.

Works fine on an external keyboard, so I guess I'll try one of the other
recommendations.

Thanks alot for the time guys.
