Well, Watershot just uses grim on the backend to capture the screen right now anyway. So I'm not quite sure what the point of this would be.

It freezes the screen from my testing

It doesn't "freeze" the screen really, that's basically an illusion. It just shows a screenshot taken with grim on all of the displays with layer shell. And then it lets you select from that view.

you might be able to use this script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
hyprpicker -r -z &
picker_proc=$!
grim
kill $picker_proc

(modify to your usecase)

I actually do use that script, but it currently suffers from this issue

Ah, okay. I used to have a script that did take a screenshot too before, but it had a slight problem (it used a window for showing the screenshot, so it would move the windows a bit)
