Random screen shots

i finally retired my Dell Laptop and went full time to my new Android Tablet.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1, running Android 7 (Nougat)

I am using my old USB keyboard with an OTG adapter to type .

Android seems to randomly take screenshots with the Keyboard plugged in. I cannot seem to figure out how to stop this from happening. I can go the screen shots folder and delete the pictures, but that can be a hassle to do over and over.

So, anyone else have this problem? And if so, what did you do to correct it?
 
Keyboard and button combinations can take screenshots. You have to be careful with those little keys when typing and which buttons you mistakenly press when you pickup your tablet.
Which combinations those are I don't know, but they exist.

Hi @derekellis!
 
I've used PC keyboards with various phones and tablets via OTG, and never had a problem with unexpected screen-shots. Maybe i just never hit the correct combination of keys?
 
Well I guess it's back to Googling for more information. Thank you for the tip on that it's possibly keyboard combinations. Now I just need to research exactly what combinations they are
