Wouldn't it make more sense to separate the screenshot functionality and dump that into a separate editor - configurable which editor. Or do these utilities combine the functionality in some inseparable way?

#32Works great on Linux using Wayland. There was a period years ago when that wasn't the case.
It doesn't work at all for me under hyprland.

While it works on Wayland for me, it feels much clunkier and less snappy than what it used to be on X.

I actually rebound my windows keys to use this instead of default windows snippet tool. Sure, if I need a high level of editing I’ll bring it into some other program (still using flame shot to take a capture). 95% the built in arrows, boxes, numbers, etc do the quick attention calling I need.
Bonus, this was a piece of ‘bloatware’ an admin rebuilt my computer with, but I came to love.

#36great app. I use the rectangle, arrow, and numbering annotation tools frequently

#37I use the following script (activated by a system-level shortcut key) to take a screenshot, upload to S3 bucket (using the minio client[0]) and place the URL in the X selection buffer, ready to be pasted: #!/bin/bash set -e dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY FNAME=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd 'a-f0-9' | head -c 32`.png flameshot gui --raw > /tmp/$FNAME ~/go/bin/mc -q cp --attr x-amz-acl=public-read /…
I have a similar setup but with SHA256 hash of the file as the object key.

#38This is my go-to screenshot tool for Linux; I've been using it almost daily for years now.
It's by no means as feature-rich as ShareX for Windows, but it works perfectly for what I need. It covers the essentials like simple annotations, blocking out areas of screenshots, saving local copies, etc.
I made some tweaks to support my own custom image uploader API, and similar to the comment by geoka9, I have it set up to take a screenshot, upload to my app, and copy the URL into my clipboard all behind a single shortcut.

#39Can this do OCR? I couldn't find in feature list so I'm guessing not yet. I use Windows native screenshot tool because it supports OCR.
Is that on Windows 11? The Windows 10 tool doesn't, though there is a PowerToys feature to select an area and copy text (not accurate enough to be useful though).

#40Is there any feature rich open source option for MacOS? I use and enjoy free shot on windows but I’ve struggled to find good options for the mac
