I want to make a nice little macro with a screenshot taken. Various reasons for this. However, I have forgotten the command to show all commands, and the old list does not show it.
Any ideas?

To show all commands: type the 2 forward slashes like below.

If such a command does exist, it's going to live in the land of /ui commands.
I highly doubt it's /ui action <something> as you're not really taking an action. Unfortunatly, there's no way (in game atleast) to list all the available /ui commands.
The only thing that may get you the command (assuming it does exist) would be try opening your keymap and client info in a hex editor and finding out what the keybinding for screenshot maps to in the code.
Good luck - and if you find it, post it here so we can all know it

Did the keymap thing in gamefirst and didn't see it, although I still might have just missed it. I might have to try the hex editor thing, if I ever feel like taking that much effort. I kinda don't like to mess with my game files for this game. FPS's sure I like to mod those things. But SWG is an animal I don't want to mess with.
Thanks for the idea. Who knows, I might do it someday, and if I figure it out, I will post it.

something wrong with hitting the print screen button?
Trying to hit it while in battle or trying to hit it while a certain system message is up.
Basically, I want to use the /earthtime command then the print screen command so I can date my pic. When I tamed my Bull Rancor, I luckily remembered to hit the button when I got the successful tame message. But this is not always the case.
Also, on my keyboard, the key is in a different location and sometimes while trying to hit it I hit a different key and miss the right picture.
Also, with this command, I could make a nice slide show of images with the /pause command. Would allow multiple shots during battle without having to think of which keyboard I was using and then hitting the correct key.
So quite a few reasons. Laziness is not one of them
Although, this might lead to laziness
