v3.1.0

  • No longer hijacks the Print Screen key. Earlier versions seized Print by default and stripped it from GNOME's built-in screenshot, forcing you to keep restoring it manually. Kapture now defaults to Ctrl+Shift+S and never touches Print unless you explicitly pick "Print Screen" in Settings — and it hands GNOME's shortcut back the moment you switch away. Upgrading from an older version automatically restores Print to GNOME on first launch.
  • Global capture shortcut fixed on Wayland. Fixed a bug where the GNOME custom keybinding's command was never stored (a gsettings quoting issue), so the shortcut silently did nothing. The capture shortcut now registers and fires reliably. On Wayland the GNOME shortcut is the only way an app can bind a global key, so this is now the supported path.
  • Flash-free capture restored on GNOME 49 & 50 (Ubuntu 26.04). The bundled GNOME Shell helper extension only declared support up to GNOME 48, so newer GNOME refused to load it and capture fell back to the flashing portal. It now supports GNOME 45–50. Log out and back in once after installing to activate it.
  • Redesigned annotation toolbar. Tools are now labelled (Pen, Arrow, Box, Blur) instead of bare glyphs, with larger 44px buttons, clearer undo/redo, a bigger colour swatch, and dividers separating the tool groups — same theme, same accent, same tools, far easier to read.
  • Autostarts at login. Kapture now starts silently in the system tray at login, so the capture shortcut responds instantly instead of cold-starting on first press.
  • New default capture shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+S (was Print Screen). Change it anytime in tray → Settings; GNOME's native Print Screen keeps working out of the box.
