description: Example screenshot keybindings and capture workflows for mangowm.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
mangowm does not include a built-in screenshot tool. This keeps the compositor lean.
|
||||
Instead, compose your own workflow from small Wayland utilities and bind them to keys;
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Purpose |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| [`grim`](https://github.com/emersion/grim) | Capture the screen or a region to a file |
|
||||
| [`slurp`](https://github.com/emersion/slurp) | Interactively select a region for `grim` |
|
||||
| [`wl-copy`](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard) | Copy screenshots directly to the clipboard |
|
||||
| [`satty`](https://github.com/gabm/Satty) | Annotate screenshots before saving |
|
||||
| [`wayfreeze`](https://github.com/nicbk/wayfreeze) | Freeze the screen before capture |
|
||||
|
||||
Install the required with your package manager or from source.
|
||||
|
||||
`grim` writes to the file path you give it, but **will not create missing directories**. Create one first:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/Pictures/Screenshots
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any directory works. `~/Pictures/Screenshots/` is just a convention.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Binds
|
||||
|
||||
Short, single-step commands can be placed directly in `config.conf` with `spawn_shell`.
|
||||
No script file needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fullscreen
|
||||
|
||||
Captures the entire display.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=NONE,Print,spawn_shell,grim $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Region
|
||||
|
||||
Select an area with `slurp` before capturing.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=SHIFT,Print,spawn_shell,g=$(slurp -d) && [ -n "$g" ] && grim -g "$g" $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pointer
|
||||
|
||||
Captures the full screen including the cursor.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=ALT,Print,spawn_shell,grim -c $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
Captures to a temporary file and copies the image to the clipboard; no file is saved.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=CTRL,Print,spawn_shell,f=$(mktemp -t screenshot-XXXXXX.png) && grim "$f" && wl-copy < "$f" && rm -f "$f"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Annotate
|
||||
|
||||
Captures and opens `satty` for drawing before saving.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=SUPER,Print,spawn_shell,f=$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png && grim "$f" && satty --filename "$f" --output-filename "$f" --actions-on-enter save-to-file --early-exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Script Binds
|
||||
|
||||
When a command involves multi-step logic, geometry parsing, FIFOs, or screen freezing,
|
||||
move it into a script and invoke it with `spawn` instead of `spawn_shell`.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the scripts directory first:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Window
|
||||
|
||||
Uses `mmsg` (ships with mango) to capture the focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/window.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
geometry=$(mmsg -x | awk '/x / {x=$3} /y / {y=$3} /width / {w=$3} /height / {h=$3} END {print x","y" "w"x"h}')
|
||||
[ -z "$geometry" ] && exit 1
|
||||
grim -g "$geometry" "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/window.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Freeze
|
||||
|
||||
Freezes the screen with `wayfreeze` before capturing.
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/freeze.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
pipe=$(mktemp -u).fifo
|
||||
mkfifo "$pipe"
|
||||
wayfreeze --after-freeze-timeout 100 --after-freeze-cmd "echo > $pipe" &
|
||||
wayfreeze_pid=$!
|
||||
read -r < "$pipe"
|
||||
grim "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png"
|
||||
kill "$wayfreeze_pid" 2>/dev/null
|
||||
rm -f "$pipe"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=CTRL+SUPER,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/freeze.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Freeze + Region
|
||||
|
||||
Freeze, then select a region with `slurp`. Cleans up on cancel.
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/freeze-region.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
pipe=$(mktemp -u).fifo
|
||||
mkfifo "$pipe"
|
||||
wayfreeze --after-freeze-timeout 100 --after-freeze-cmd "echo > $pipe" &
|
||||
wayfreeze_pid=$!
|
||||
read -r < "$pipe"
|
||||
geometry=$(slurp -d)
|
||||
if [[ -z "$geometry" ]]; then
|
||||
kill "$wayfreeze_pid" 2>/dev/null
|
||||
rm -f "$pipe"
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
grim -g "$geometry" "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png"
|
||||
kill "$wayfreeze_pid" 2>/dev/null
|
||||
rm -f "$pipe"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=SHIFT+SUPER,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/freeze-region.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make all three scripts executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x ~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/*.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## All-in-One Script
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer fewer files? A single script with subcommands covers every mode above.
|
||||
Place it in the same directory and use it in place of the individual scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
mkdir -p "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots"
|
||||
filepath="$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png"
|
||||
|
||||
case "${1:-fullscreen}" in
|
||||
region)
|
||||
g=$(slurp -d); [ -z "$g" ] && exit 1
|
||||
grim -g "$g" "$filepath" ;;
|
||||
window)
|
||||
g=$(mmsg -x | awk '/x / {x=$3} /y / {y=$3} /width / {w=$3} /height / {h=$3} END {print x","y" "w"x"h}')
|
||||
[ -z "$g" ] && exit 1
|
||||
grim -g "$g" "$filepath" ;;
|
||||
freeze)
|
||||
p=$(mktemp -u).fifo; mkfifo "$p"
|
||||
wayfreeze --after-freeze-timeout 100 --after-freeze-cmd "echo > $p" & wp=$!
|
||||
read -r < "$p"; grim "$filepath"
|
||||
kill "$wp" 2>/dev/null; rm -f "$p" ;;
|
||||
freeze-region)
|
||||
p=$(mktemp -u).fifo; mkfifo "$p"
|
||||
wayfreeze --after-freeze-timeout 100 --after-freeze-cmd "echo > $p" & wp=$!
|
||||
read -r < "$p"; g=$(slurp -d)
|
||||
if [ -z "$g" ]; then kill "$wp" 2>/dev/null; rm -f "$p"; exit 1; fi
|
||||
grim -g "$g" "$filepath"
|
||||
kill "$wp" 2>/dev/null; rm -f "$p" ;;
|
||||
annotate)
|
||||
grim "$filepath"; satty --filename "$filepath" --output-filename "$filepath" --actions-on-enter save-to-file --early-exit ;;
|
||||
*) grim "$filepath" ;;
|
||||
esac
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make the script executable:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x ~/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add the binds to `config.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
bind=NONE,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh fullscreen
|
||||
bind=SHIFT,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh region
|
||||
bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh window
|
||||
bind=CTRL+SUPER,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh freeze
|
||||
bind=SHIFT+SUPER,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh freeze-region
|
||||
bind=SUPER,Print,spawn,$HOME/.config/mango/scripts/screenshot/screenshot.sh annotate
|
||||
```
