About grimblast
grimblast is the Hyprland version of Grimshot, a helper that wraps the grim and slurp tools to take screenshots on Hyprland. It is meant to be bound to keys in a Hyprland configuration so you can capture the screen or a selected area quickly.
It lives in the hyprwm contrib repository alongside other community scripts for Hypr projects, and is maintained by community members. It suits Hyprland users who want screenshots without assembling their own grim and slurp commands.
