Hyprshot

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.

Installation

Dependencies

• hyprland (this one should be obvious)
• grim (to take the screenshot)
• slurp (to select what to screenshot)
• wl-copy (to copy screenshot to clipboard)

Manual

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

Usage

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

Configuration

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.
