About Hyprshot
Hyprshot takes screenshots in the Hyprland Wayland compositor using the mouse. It can capture a window, a region or a whole monitor. Screenshots are saved to a folder of your choice and copied to the clipboard.
It is a small script that depends on Hyprland and jq, among other tools. It is packaged for Arch Linux in the AUR, for Gentoo through the wayland overlay and for ALT Sisyphus, and is usually bound to a keyboard shortcut in the Hyprland configuration.
