WSHOT

Minimal screenshot utility for wayland with C.

You can also check out “How to build a simple screenshot tool for Wayland.”

FEATURES

• Region selection with slurp. wshot -r "$(slurp)"
• Hide cursor when screenshot. wshot -c
• Output file name selection. wshot -o <filename>
• Delay before taking the screenshot. wshot -w 5 # 5 seconds
• Usage with wl-copy: region wshot -s -r "$(slurp)" | wl-copy or fullscreen wshot -s | wl-copy
• Multiple Monitor Support (works with slurp now): wshot -m <Monitor Name>

Yes, these really aren't features — because for a screenshot program, these are simply all I need.

Usage

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~oled/wshot
make
./wshot -h
