keyboard shortcut vs. closing some menus

there is a keyboard shortcut that has the "Prt Sc / SysRq" key do a print screen.  i changed it to do my own print screen command that silently just saves every screen as a timestamped file.   there are some kinds of displays the mouse can bring up, which any keypress will close.  when i try to print the screen with one of those being displayed, it closes it and the screenshot is after it closes.  so i can't capture certain problems (like something missing in such a menu).  is there a way to make a certain key not close such menus, but, still do the shortcut?

Use this in the terminal so you can set the delay before taking the screenshot and get that window showing:

Hope that helps.
