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

Arch Linux

You can install the hyprshot package in AUR.

Dependencies

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)

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 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

Save location

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.
