    Flameshot is great, I use it every day at work and home. The integrated editing/annoation/drawing functions are superb.

        I've been using lightshot for years and love it, might have to try others out just to see what else is out there

        Edit: Been using ShareX for a little bit today, and yes. it is superior to lightshot

    Use Flameshot every day. Love it.

    Two tips for users:

    • Check out this page for info on customizing the key bindings you use within the app to suit your needs: https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/key-bindings/

    • Same page has instructions for choosing which key-combo should bring up the GUI. I'm on Ubuntu and had to do special steps to make it work with the PrintScr key but it's so easy to use now!

      Flameshot was great, but for me, no window select (on Win) and no plan to implement is a deal breaker, thoughi understandthe reasons.
      Also breaks when moving between docks - has to be restarted, and pinned images go under the screen, if pinned at the bottom (they always shift down).
      While I like the UI, it makes it awkward to quickly find the icon needed on small crops, since they keep shifting around.

        Yah, on Windows I prefer Greenshot (greenshot.org). It's free, open-source and is so easy to use, I frequently forget it's running in the background.

    It's a shame this doesn't work nicely with multiple displays, it always picks the monitor I don't have the window on I want to capture.

      For me it captures all the screens and let's me pick the region, even when crossing over two screens.

      Which OS are you using? And if Linux, are you running Wayland or X?

          You might need some workarounds for it to work. I'm using Sway as my window manager, where the missing piece war the "for_window" bit on this page.

          https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/master/docs/Sway%20and%20wlroots%20support.md

          Depending on your desktop environment/window manager, you might need some different workarounds.

    A great tool, wish they had a feature that would allow you to add plugins/add-ons such as OCR, GIF Maker etc. Similar to what FlowLauncher offers plugins wise. (FlowLauncher is a FOSS system wide search engine for windows).

    Anyone know a screenshot tool that can do this effect easily and directly? I tried out a lot of tools and I'm unable to find any. Currently I'm using either Inkscape or Illustrator to get this effect. This is really good effect to prepare documentations.

    On Mac, with multiple displays, it seems to be broken. Sometimes it targets the wrong display, and mixes the resolutions. Have tried for a while because it seems perfect on Linux.

    Will try again in a while

      For me it gets a bit confused if I add or remove the external screens.

      Usually it is fixed if I quit and restart flameshot

        I'm currently using shottr, but without those bugs I would still use flameshot. Might be due to familiarity, but I liked it more.

        Also, if I can I rather use FOSS.
