Print-screen App
-
I like the default one in KDE (Spectacle). It does everything I need, and can take both screenshots and recordings. I don't think it works with other DEs though.
-
I use flameshot both on Linux and my Windows work laptop. I definitely recommend it
-
I don't know about Swappy but I use Grim + Slurp.
-
I like flameshot but it needs a bunch of window rule to work properly on kde Wayland apparently it uses some wayland wlroots-isms that plasma doesn't implement
-
Flameshot I use it with cinnamon.
-
I honestly just use a shellscript bound to a key because I think all of the screenshot software on Linux is garbage.

@brownmustardminion I think you'd be fine still usin
swappy
, just use it in a way that does what you need. I usemaim
piped toxclip
as below, then I tie each of those cases to [PrScr] with different modkeys.case "${1}" in area) maim --hidecursor -s |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png ;; savew) maim --hidecursor -i $(xdotool getactivewindow) |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png ;; savef) maim --hidecursor |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png ;; esac

+1. Works great.

magick import of imagemagick. Here's my function:
screnshot() { ## script to make screenshots with imagemagick's import command and display them ## usage: screenshot <path> <name> _id="$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")" _dir="${1:-$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" _shot="$_dir"/"${2:-shot_$_id}.png" mkdir -p "$_dir" magick import "$_shot" viewnior "$_shot" }
And good old xfce4-screenshooter, xfce4-screenshooter -r and xfce4-screenshooter -w.

@brownmustardminion I use KDE's Spectacle, and I like it a lot!
-
I'd go with grimshot then, which I think works for hyprland as well (it's made for sway). It provides an interface over Grim, slurp, and jq, and makes life easy. Combine it with a image viewer like imv, and your set!

scrot
if you want to use the CLI, (KDE) Spectacle if you need a UI. -
it doesn’t really suit my needs.
What are your needs?
-
Kde's Spectacle is awesome
-
Flameshot
-
grim + slurp ftw. On my system mod+ctrl+s -> select area by drawing a box -> screenshot saved as shot.png in the Downloads directory where even sandboxed apps can read it.
-
it's the most mac-like (and Windows, it pulls a good medium)
-
Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

I love flameshot, but unfortunately it's support for more than one monitor on wayland has me looking for an alternative
