Screenshot helper for sway.
It adds keyboard shortcuts to take screenshot:
- Print Scr made screenshot for whole screen
- Alt + Print Scr made screenshot for a focused window
- Shift + Print Scr made screenshot for a selected region
- Super + Print Scr made screenshot for whole screen then upload it to 0x0.st
- Super + Alt + Print Scr made screenshot for a focused window then upload it to 0x0.st
- Super + Shift + Print Scr made screenshot for a selected region then upload it to 0x0.st
Note: since 2.7.0 it uses 0x0.st instead of x0.at.
It saves screenshots to XDG_PICTURES_DIR (usually $HOME/Pictures), see more details on XDG user directories.
Default template of screenshot filename is screenshot_YYYY-MM-DD_HH24-MI-SS_SSS.png. But you can change path and timestamp format
User variables in ~/.config/swayshot.sh.
- SWAYSHOT_SCREENSHOTS defines your own screenshot folder;
- SWAYSHOT_DATEFMT defines timestamp format (see
man date), thanks Ranieri Althoff for help. - SWAYSHOT_WL_COPY_FILE defines whether the image file itself should be copied to clipboard.
If wl-clipboard (wl-copy), xsel or xclip exist it copies full path to clipboard. Otherwise just prints it to stdout. With wl-clipboard, the SWAYSHOT_WL_COPY_FILE config variable allows you to copy the image file itself.
Just install the AUR package swayshot ☺
Requires:
- grim
- jq
- slurp
- sway (certainly)
Optional dependencies:
- xsel
- xclip
- wl-clipboard
You need to copy files:
- swayshot.conf copy to /etc/sway/config.d;
- swayshot.sh copy to /usr/bin as swayshot and make it executable.
Then just reload Sway's configuration file (usually it's $mod + Shift + c).
