3 432335a8 2022-02-21 op sshot is a simple script to make a screenshot!
10 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op Did you know that getopts is a built-in? The first version of this
11 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op script used getopt, but it was ugly and required some shell features
12 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op which I'm not sure are POSIX. getopts is easier to handle:
14 062902d7 2022-02-21 op while getopts cs name; do
17 432335a8 2022-02-21 op s) select=1 ;;
18 432335a8 2022-02-21 op ?) echo "Usage: $0 [-s]" >&2; exit 1 ;;
22 062902d7 2022-02-21 op The usage is simple, it just accepts a -c flag to copy the image in the
23 062902d7 2022-02-21 op clipboard and a -s flag to select a window instead of grabbing the whole
26 759cb1a6 2022-03-30 op The image is saved as /tmp/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.png
28 432335a8 2022-02-21 op file=/tmp/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.png
30 432335a8 2022-02-21 op if [ -n "$select" ]; then
31 432335a8 2022-02-21 op maim -su > "$file"
33 432335a8 2022-02-21 op maim -u > "$file"
36 432335a8 2022-02-21 op During the "select" maim aborts if a key is pressed; this however leaves
37 432335a8 2022-02-21 op a zero-byte file around, something I don't really like, so remove it in
40 432335a8 2022-02-21 op if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
42 432335a8 2022-02-21 op notify-send "sshot: aborted"
46 062902d7 2022-02-21 op Optionally save the image in the clipboard: (not the path, the whole
49 062902d7 2022-02-21 op if [ -n "$clip" ]; then
50 062902d7 2022-02-21 op xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i "$file"
53 432335a8 2022-02-21 op Then send a notification to give a feedback of the success
55 432335a8 2022-02-21 op notify-send "sshot: done" "$file"
