    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.

      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.

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                            First I heard of this (but then, I'm stuck on outdated GPU so no Wayland for me T~T)
