wayshot

A native, blazing-fast πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€ screenshot tool for wlroots based compositors such as sway and river written in Rust.


Some usage examples:

NOTE: Read man 7 wayshot for more examples.

NOTE: Read man wayshot for flag information.

Region Selection:

wayshot -s "$(slurp -f '%x %y %w %h')"

Fullscreen:

wayshot

Screenshot and copy to clipboard:

wayshot --stdout | wl-copy

Pick a hex color code, using ImageMagick:

wayshot -s "$(slurp -p -f '%x %y %w %h')" --stdout | convert - -format '%[pixel:p{0,0}]' txt:-|egrep "#([A-Fa-f0-9]{6}|[A-Fa-f0-9]{3})" -o

Known bugs:

Multi monitor systems break on --slurp usage. This is quite the tricky bug and will need some refactoring which we're currently working on. (#7)

Massive thanks to smithay developer Cmeissl and Victor Berger. Without them this project won't be possible as my wayland knowledge is limited.
