I have been using Spectacle for a few years now, I quite prefer it over snip (though the last version of snip I used was win7)!
Funny enough it’s also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux’s ass on a feature
Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip
I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it’s a different keybind with an enter keypress

On my phone ATM but I’m pretty sure that’s what I ended up using as well
It’s 95% there but it’s incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I’m used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button
Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to make it do that, so it’s just shy of snip

Flame shit is golden if you are on Xorg, it’s a little more complicated on the Wayland side of things.

Interesting, I tried like 5 tools and Flameshot (my fucking autocorrect also made it flame shit lol) never once came up
Gonna give it a go when I get home
I really do like being back on Linux but it’s this “someone only tells me about the exact software I need once I whine about it 3 weeks later on a different fucking Forum” that gets exhausting, lol

Holy shit. Just downloaded it and it’s got a lot of great features. I can’t find the shortcut to actually take a screenshot though. Do you have to click the icon in the panel?

Yeah you do. But you can set a hotkey in your DE for that, just execute flameshot when you press print, that’s what I do.
Sadly, I’m on Wayland and it doesn’t really work well yet there, last time I checked at least. Flameshot is amazing.
