xaprier / rofi-screenshot Goto Github PK

I got sick of not having a simple solution to take screenshots and screencasts.

Plus, there's so many different things I might want to do I struggle to find key bindings for all of them. So, I created a script to show and execute various screen capture related commands in Rofi.

• Capture a region to the clipboard or a directory
• Capture the whole screen to the clipboard or a directory
• Record a specific region and save as a gif or MP4
• Record the whole screen and save as a gif or MP4

Make sure you have the required dependencies installed.

Download the rofi-screenshot source code, save as rofi-screenshot and make it executable

$ curl -L https://git.io/rofi-screenshot > rofi-screenshot && chmod u+x rofi-screenshot

Then move rofi-screenshot to somewhere in your $PATH for example:

$ sudo mv rofi-screenshot /usr/local/bin/

Show the rofi menu

$ rofi-screenshot

Stop recording

$ rofi-screenshot -s

Tip: Add a keybinding for both of the above commands

• rofi
• ffcast
• slop
• xclip
