    Anybody got any suggestions for a good print-screen / screenshot app?

    I'm using the default of Swappy right now and it doesn't really suit my needs.

    The MacOS screenshot app is my ideal.

    @brownmustardminion I think you'd be fine still usin swappy, just use it in a way that does what you need. I use maim piped to xclip 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
        ;;

      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.

        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.

            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?

                      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 😞

                              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

                              First I heard of this (but then, I'm stuck on outdated GPU so no Wayland for me T~T)
