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.
# apt-get install hyprshot
You can install the hyprshot package in AUR.
Activate wayland overlay as described in README, allow ~amd64 keyword and then install it:
# emerge --ask gui-apps/hyprshot
- hyprland (this one should be obvious)
- jq (to parse and manipulate json)
- grim (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)
- hyprpicker (to freeze the screen contents with the
--freeze
flag)
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
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
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
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.
