  • Screenshots are now annotated in the same window you select in.
    Super+Shift+I (region), Super+I (screen) and Super+Ctrl+I (window) freeze
    the display and let you drag the area and draw on it in one surface, with the
    toolbar next to the selection — no second window opens. Flameshot does the
    annotating; it captures through the same Wayland path as the rest of W and
    wears your active theme. For region and window captures the bar steps below
    the overlay instead of covering the strip you are dragging through. The
    clipboard and plain-save captures are unchanged and still open nothing.

    Satty, the annotator this replaces, stays installed. If the overlay misbehaves
    for you — wrong monitor, slow to appear — switch back without reinstalling:

    w-conf set --user screenshot ANNOTATOR satty
    

    w-conf unset --user screenshot ANNOTATOR returns to Flameshot. One case
    always uses Satty and ignores the setting: a single capture spanning every
    monitor, which has no Flameshot equivalent.

  • Two new keybinds save the screenshot straight to a file. Super+Alt+I
    (screen) and Super+Ctrl+Alt+I (window) write a PNG into your Screenshots
    folder with no annotator and no dialog. Rebindable like any other key, e.g.
    w-hotkeys set screenshot_screen_save "SUPER + F12".

  • New W-Pack: gaming. Steam, Lutris and Heroic on one shared
    Proton/Wine/MangoHud/gamemode foundation, plus ProtonPlus, protontricks,
    gamescope, ntsync autoloading, and the game-tuned scx_lavd scheduler
    (installed, not enabled). Off by default, ~4–5 GiB:

    w-pack install gaming
    

    The pack enables the multilib repository and installs the 32-bit graphics
    stack your GPU actually needs before Steam resolves its Vulkan dependency —
    left to the resolver it picks the wrong provider and breaks Vulkan on
    AMD/Intel. Your game library is kept out of @home snapshots (it runs to
    hundreds of gigabytes and re-downloads from the storefronts), and the MangoHud
    overlay (Shift_F12) and the Heroic window are dressed in your active W
    colours. Log out and back in once after installing — the pack adds your
    account to the gamemode group, and group membership only applies to new
    sessions.

  • w-pack bundles can declare a pre.sh — a root step that runs before the
    package list, for what a package list cannot express: enabling a repository,
    syncing a fresh database, pinning a hardware-specific package ahead of a
    virtual dependency. Only bundle authors are affected; w-pack refresh still
    never runs it.
