  • shotgun

    Minimal X screenshot utility

  • For screenshots I currently use shotgun and slop (both available in community repos). The example on shotgun's GitHub will straight up allow you to either make a rectangle selection or click a window to capture it (with alpha!). Full screen / multi-head captures are also possible and handled gracefully.
