wlshot

Simple screenshot utility for every possible wlr window manager or Desktop environment

Desc

I'm tired of using and combining grim and slurp, so I created my own script that allows you to use one simple command.

⚠ WARNING: This utility is currently in PRE-PRE-PRE-PRE-ALPHA. Use it at your own risk and fear! The author takes no responsibility for any issues or damage caused.

Example options and usage:

---

First time it might look not easy to use but it's veeery simple:

wlshot [screen|region] wlrclipboard=[1|0]

If you choose screen it captures the screen output if region it captures a selected space on screen. About wlrclipboard: if you set that as 0 value it saves the screenshot as .png file; if you set value as 1 it autocopies to clipboard.

You can use:

-h or --help

as flag to get help message.
