Hyprshot-rs

A utility to easily take screenshots in Hyprland using your mouse.

Features

• Capture screenshots of windows, regions, or monitors.
• Save screenshots to a specified folder or copy to the clipboard.
• Support for delayed captures, screen freezing, and custom commands.

Installation

Install via Cargo:

cargo install hyprshot-rs

Ensure the following dependencies are installed:

• grim
• slurp
• wl-clipboard
• hyprland
• hyprpicker (optional)

On Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S grim slurp wl-clipboard hyprland hyprpicker

Usage

Make it available regardless of the shell

sudo ln -s ~/.local/share/cargo/bin/hyprshot-rs /usr/local/bin/

hyprshot-rs [options ..] [-m [mode] ..] -- [command]

possible values: output, window, region, active

Possible values:

• Capture a window:

hyprshot-rs -m window

• To take a screenshot of a specific area of the screen, use:

hyprshot-rs -m region

• If you have 2 or more monitors and want to take a screenshot of the workspace on a specific monitor:

hyprshot-rs -m output

• Quick capture (instant screenshot of the workspace where the cursor is):

hyprshot-rs -m active -m output

• Take a screenshot of a selected area and save it in the current directory: ~/repository

hyprshot-rs -m region -r > output.png

redirects the output to output.png in your current working directory. So if you're currently in ~/repository when running this command, that's where the screenshot will be saved, not in the default ~/Pictures directory.

Run hyprshot-rs --help or hyprshot-rs -hfor more options.
