Default PRTSC key not working

Hey,
My printscreen button doesnt work.
I've installed OpenBSD 6.7-beta from snapshots. laptop i use is Lenovo 300 series. When i press Ctrl+v in terminal and after PRTSC key nothing happens. Also key combinations with ctrl, alt,etc..
X sees the key.
xev output:

Hello, and welcome!

...in terminal...
  1. Which application are you expecting to process this specific key press?
  2. What is the expected action?

Oh, easy peasy. In .i3/config, add:
Code:
bindsym Print exec scrot /full/path/to/file.png
.

For clarity, scrot is just a command line program that doesn't poll for keystrokes. The running window manager is the polling program. I used i3wm in my example, both because you mentioned it and I happen to use it.
