  • swappy

    A Wayland native snapshot editing tool, inspired by Snappy on macOS

  • sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

    A good option that's actually on Sway's sources for screenshots is Grimshot. I have certain modes bound to hotkeys (eg `printscr` to region-select, `alt+printscr` to capture current window etc) and in general is one of the better written screenshot scripts out there

  • flameshot

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

    I also use grimshot, but it's worth mentioning that Flameshot's recent 0.9.0 release has better Wayland and Sway support.

    clipman which can easily integrate with bmenu for clipboard selection.
