Key Features

  • Capture Modes:
    • Region: Interactive area selection with slurp
    • Window: Visual window layout selector with reasonably accurate respect to stacking
    • Full Display: Capture the entire active display
    • All Displays: Capture all connected displays at once
  • Intuitive Window Selection: Uses a window selector that recreates the window layout on the active monitor for application window selection, this is my work-around for the Wayland input capture limitations.
  • Flexible Output Options:
    • Save to your preferred directory
    • Copy to clipboard (wl-clipboard)
    • Open in external editor (swappy, gimp, etc.)
