Hotkey for Bug Report

The bug report feature is locked behind the escape menu (please let me know if there is another way to access it), which is mostly fine, however yesterday I encountered a visual bug inside one of the shops and since pressing escape to open a bug report automatically closes the shop I was not able to include a screen shot in my report. I had initially taken a screenshot on my own PC, planning to upload it with the bug report, but it turns out the bug report feature screen shots whatever is on your screen at the time.

In this case, the bug was fairly easy to explain but it had me thinking that there should probably be a hotkey for the bug report menu, since there are certain areas of the game that cannot be included in screen shots that are included with the bug report in game. This would allow the screen shots to show things that are inside menus that would otherwise close when opening the bug report feature.
Alternatively, allow us to interact with the game world while the bug report menu is open, so we can do things like open the Stash or Shop while the bug report is up on the screen. These would be functionally the same (allowing bug report screen shots to show more) but I imagine would be technically different so as long as the issue is improved I’d be happy with either, or a third option.

I’ve had this several times now, and was unable to capture a screenshot in time because pressing escape and navigating to the menu took too long, and the visual bug was gone before the screenshot could kick in. Having a hotkey would make it much easier to report UI bugs and other fast-paced visual bugs. Another helpful addition would be the ability to link to the bug report for follow-up info or maybe reproduction steps if we run into it multiple times and get a better idea of what’s causing the bug.

I agree, the screenshot capture function has never been helpful as the plethora of bugs the game has cant usually be displayed once you’ve gone to the main menu. A hotkey or combo of keys would help actually make that useable.
