What WM and screenshot tool are you using?

I'm using Plasma on Wayland and there doesn't seem to be any screenshot tool that works properly.

Grim only works on Sway. Flameshot's GUI mode doesn't recognize the secondary screen. Spectacle fails to copy the screenshot to clipboard when running in background mode. KSnip doesn't have a region select mode. Shutter only works in X.

Out of Spectacle and Flameshot, Spectacle is more responsive and works across both screens. I'm thinking I can work around the clipboard issue by having it save to a temporary file, and use `inotifywait` to monitor that file and copy to clipboard with `wl-copy`. I wish I wouldn't have to use such workarounds though.



If anyone else finds themselves in my situation re: Spectacle, I put together this script which may or may not work (I've only tested it by dry-running it so far): https://github.com/Sharparam/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/sharps...
