Imagemagick is basically a command line processor. It does not interact with the keyboard to capture images.

Your OS will take screen snaps from a keyboard press. You do not say what OS or IM version you are using?

You probably can find some other screen snap tool that will let you program it. Try searching Google.

If I misunderstand what you are asking, please clarify and also provide your IM version and platform.
