| # Fakesnip: A pseudo-ksnip for Sway, based on `grim` and `slurp` — because we love the screenshot editing power of ksnip, but it does not have real Wayland + Sway support yet. | |
| # Usage: | |
| # | |
| # Place this script in a location of your choosing, such as `~/.config/sway/scripts/`. | |
| # Then, add the following to your Sway config: | |
| # | |
| # bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec ~/.config/sway/scripts/fakesnip monitor-full | |
| # bindsym Mod1+Shift+c exec ~/.config/sway/scripts/fakesnip monitor-focused | |
| # bindsym Mod1+Shift+u exec ~/.config/sway/scripts/fakesnip window-select | |
| # bindsym Mod1+Shift+a exec ~/.config/sway/scripts/fakesnip window-active | |
| # bindsym Mod1+Shift+r exec ~/.config/sway/scripts/fakesnip rectangular | |
| # Known Issues: | |
| # | |
| # - We use temporary files for screenshots because directly piping the image into `ksnip` via STDIN sometimes causes the error "Unable to show image. No image provided but one was expected." | |
| # - If the 'Start Minimized to Tray' option is disabled, an empty `ksnip` window will pop up when first invoking this script, as it spawns a new `ksnip` server to avoid other problems such as duplicate instances. Therefore, it is recommended to enable the 'Start Minimized to Tray' option. | |
| # - If the 'Show Main Window after capturing screenshot' option is enabled, the `ksnip` window will pop up after every screenshot. Therefore, it is recommended to disable the 'Show Main Window after capturing screenshot' option. | |
