A screenshot tool for Wayland that uses TUI to configure screenshot options.

Just type wl-termshot and you can start taking screenshot! Screenshots would be saved to $GRIM_DEFAULT_DIR in the case that temporary is not set.

• Select a specific area to take screenshot
• Option to choose if wl-termshot copy screenshot to clipboard for every screenshot
• Option to save screenshot to /tmp
• Option to customize screenshot file name (default is screen_YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm:ss.png)

Only supports Linux now. Tested on Hyprland with Arch Linux.

• [] Add "--help" and stuff like that
• [] Prevent panicing when dependencies are not installed
• [] Use a environment variable other than $GRIM_DEFAULT_DIR
• [] Save current directory when environment variables are not set
• [] Make error looks nicer
• [] Freeze screen using hyprpicker
• [] Support different image format
• [] Maybe use TUI library other than Cursive for better looking
• [] Add CLI interface, perhaps using Clap
• [] Support X11 and other platforms (low priority)

• grim for taking screenshot
• setsid for generating process (should be provided on Linux)
• libnotify for sending notification
• slurp for selecting area [Optional]
• wl-clipboard for copying screenshot [Optional]

Currently only support building from source. Dependent on the Rust toolchain.

git clone https://github.com/inker0/wl-termshot.git
cd wl-termshot
cargo build --release

The executable wl-termshot is located at ./target/release/.

You can create keybinds for wl-termshot in Hyprland like this:

bind = SUPER SHIFT, S, exec, $terminal --class="wl-termshot.floating" -e wl-termshot # Create keybind
windowrule = float,class:wl-termshot.floating # Float window
windowrule = size 700 350,class:wl-termshot.floating # Set size

This is my personal project (just for personal use). If you find wl-termshot useful or you find a issue inside this tool, freely consider contributing through issues and pull requests.
