Hyprshot

Hyprshot is an utility to easily take screenshot in Hyprland using your mouse.

It allows taking screenshots of windows, regions and monitors which are saved to a folder of your choosing and copied to your clipboard.

Installation

ALT Sisyphus

# apt-get install hyprshot

Arch Linux

You can install the hyprshot package in AUR.

Gentoo Linux

Activate wayland overlay as described in README, allow ~amd64 keyword and then install it:

# emerge --ask gui-apps/hyprshot

Dependencies

hyprland (this one should be obvious)
jq (to parse and manipulate json)
grim or wayshot (to take the screenshot)
slurp (to select what to screenshot)
wl-clipboard (to copy screenshot to clipboard)
libnotify (to get notified when a screenshot is saved)

Optional Dependencies

hyprpicker (to freeze the screen contents with the --freeze flag)
satty or swappy (to pass the capture to be annotated on -a, --annotate)

Manual

To install manually, simply clone this repo and copy/symlink the hyprshot script to a folder in your PATH:

$ git clone https://github.com/Gustash/hyprshot.git Hyprshot
$ ln -s $(pwd)/Hyprshot/hyprshot $HOME/.local/bin
$ chmod +x Hyprshot/hyprshot

Usage

You can get help on how to use hyprshot by executing:

$ hyprshot -h

The simplest usage of Hyprshot is executing it with one of the available modes.

For example, to screenshot an open window:

$ hyprshot -m window

You can also skip saving the screenshot to a file, copying it only to the clipboard:

$ hyprshot -m output --clipboard-only

Configuration

You can add the various modes as keybindings in your Hyprland config like so:

# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

...

# Screenshot a window
bind = $mainMod, PRINT, exec, hyprshot -m window
# Screenshot a monitor
bind = , PRINT, exec, hyprshot -m output
# Screenshot a region
bind = $shiftMod, PRINT, exec, hyprshot -m region

This would allow you to:

Take a screenshot of a window by using MOD + PrintScr

Take a screenshot of a monitor by using PrintScr

Take a screenshot of a region by using MOD + Shift + PrintScr

Save location

You can choose which directory Hyprshot will save screenshots in by setting an HYPRSHOT_DIR environment variable to your preferred location.

If HYPRSHOT_DIR is not set, Hyprshot will attempt to save to XDG_PICTURES_DIR and will further fallback to your home directory if this is also not available.
