Screenshots (extras/grim-slurp.sh)

SYNOPSIS

wrenctl install grim-slurp                     install it
wrenctl remove grim-slurp                      remove it
wrenctl manual grim-slurp                      print the manual steps below

Print        or Super+Shift+p   the whole screen, to ~/Pictures
Shift+Print  or Super+Shift+s   drag a region, to ~/Pictures
Ctrl+Print   or Super+Shift+x   drag a region, to the clipboard
screenshot full|region|clip     the same from a terminal

Screenshots for sway: grim takes them and slurp lets you drag a region, both from Debian. A small screenshot command (bin/screenshot, in ~/.local/bin) names the file by date in ~/Pictures, or puts the picture on the clipboard (that needs parts/wl-clipboard.sh, which the base install has). sway gets the keys above, with Super+Shift ones for keyboards without a Print key.

LIMITS

• A screenshot of a seed, a password or a chat stays in ~/Pictures until you delete it.
• Any window can be captured, incognito included.
• Anything running as you can read ~/Pictures.
