screenshotwayland
We use ksnip as a company-standard cross platform screenshot annotation tool.
When switching to Wayland, I can take only screenshots via the portal, which is not very efficient.
Is it possible to launch ksnip automatically after taking a screenshot with the gnome / wayland screenshot tool which is default in Ubuntu 22.04 ?
(how is that tool called?)
Currently, as a workaround, I can take a screenshot, copy to clipboard, open ksnip, annoate, export which is very cumbersome.
Shutter has an option to automatically save screenshots, incrementing the filename each time.
Edit ➜ Preferences ➜ Main ➜ Save :
To make Shutter take the screenshots when you hit PrtScr,
go to Edit ➜ Preferences ➜ Keyboard and check the Capture checkbox:
If you don't want the Shutter window to pop up every time you take a screenshot, go to Edit ➜ Preferences ➜ Behavior and uncheck Present main window after taking a screenshot :
If you don't want to install yet another program give Gimp a try. File->Acquire->Screen Shot...

I think I will bind an additional shortcut for opening ksnip with the clipboard contents to the following script:
Thus I can take a screenshot using the standard tool, copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C) and press my new short cut (Is used Ctrl+Shift+Alt+K)
An improvement would be to also simulate pressing Ctrl+C in that shortcut.
But
xdotool key 'ctrl+c'did not work for me.Remark: There is currently a small bug in ksnip, which makes this working not perfect yet, but overall its a good solution for me.
EDIT :I nthe latest nightly that bug is solved in ksnip.
