App for Snip & Sketch on Manjaro Linux?
Hi guys. Total newbie here. Running Manjaro MATE. I do miss one thing very much. In Windows 10, I set up the keyboard so that one-click on PrtSc button will fire up the Snip & Sketch App and will immediately allow me to chose the desired area on the screen by dragging the mouse. This will then keep the selected area to the clipboard . This is so important to my workflow, as I am a student who uses Zoom a lot and need to take tons of snips like this. Since I am running Manjaro MATE, the build-in Mate Screenshot gets close, but will not allow me to start it with selecting, and will not save to clipboard unless I go to the main app windows and do that - which is very slow (unusable for me). Any app out there which can do just that? Sorry for the long post. Thanks so much!!!
I'm not sure about setting up global shortcuts in Mate. However, spectacle can be installed using sudo pacman -Sy spectacle. You can create a global shortcut for spectacle with the options -b, -r, -c. Another option is to save a screenshot of the active window as spectacle -b -a -o ~/Screenshots/$(date +%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M:%S).jpg, which captures the current window and saves it to a folder. Use "spectacle -h" to see available commands.
I erred — the command should be "sudo pacman -S pantheon-screenshot".
