The F12 screenshot problem solved
I managed to reassign the F12 hotkey in Civ so it won't interfere with the F12 Steam screenshot key anymore. Took a bit more effort than expected because G&K introces a second shortkey file which sort of screwed me over the first time.
First find the file that applies to your civ version Non G&K civ V - goto ...steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization V\assets\gameplay\XML\units G&K civ V goto ....Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's civilization V\assets\DLC\Expansion\gameplay\xml\units\Civ5cont rols.XML make a copy for safety reasons open it in a texteditor look for: KB_F12, Code:
<Row> <Type>CONTROL_QUICK_LOAD</Type> <Description>TXT_KEY_ACTION_QUICK_LOAD</Description> <Help/> <DisabledHelp/> <HotKey>KB_F12</HotKey> <AltDown>0</AltDown> <ShiftDown>0</ShiftDown> <CtrlDown>0</CtrlDown> <HotKeyPriority>0</HotKeyPriority> <HotKeyAlt/> <AltDownAlt>0</AltDownAlt> <ShiftDownAlt>0</ShiftDownAlt> <CtrlDownAlt>0</CtrlDownAlt> <HotKeyPriorityAlt>0</HotKeyPriorityAlt> </Row> If you wanna use a Shift/Alt/Control with your new hotkey set the appropiate xxxxDown trigger to 1. Save and done. I set it to Alt-L as that appeared to be free, you get the following code: Code:
<!-- edited F12 to Alt L for screenie reasons --> <Row> <Type>CONTROL_QUICK_LOAD</Type> <Description>TXT_KEY_ACTION_QUICK_LOAD</Description> <Help/> <DisabledHelp/> <HotKey>KB_L</HotKey> <AltDown>1</AltDown> <ShiftDown>0</ShiftDown> <CtrlDown>0</CtrlDown> <HotKeyPriority>0</HotKeyPriority> <HotKeyAlt/> <AltDownAlt>0</AltDownAlt> <ShiftDownAlt>0</ShiftDownAlt> <CtrlDownAlt>0</CtrlDownAlt> <HotKeyPriorityAlt>0</HotKeyPriorityAlt> </Row>

but then you have to manually paste and save everyscreenshot. That's annoying.

Or you could take a picture of the screen with an external camera, upload the pictures to your computer from your SD card and then upload them online. Simple.
