Scrot is a way to get a screenshot of what is displaying (it might only be for X.org :/) so if a button triggered a scrot and then downloaded that locally or displayed it in a window, then you could see remotely what's playing on the pi!

That could be cool for digital signage troubleshooting...

Will have to research on how to implement this to be triggered from the dashboard (prefer not to use overlays/buttons on the main interface to reduce complexity); but this is a nice feature suggestion.
