Install required libraries\n\n```bash\napt-get install libgtk-3-dev\n```\n\n2. Build the tool\n\n```bash\nmake\n```\n\nAbove command will also download and compile dependencies. It may take long time due to gotk3 build process.\n\nRun with `./screentool`.\n\n# Demo\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PFXvkRdBNw\n\n# Basic usage\n\nUse your favorite hotkey to start screentool\n\n1. Select screenshot area\n\n- Select a range by dragging mouse over area of interest - to make a screenshot of a range \\\n  OR\n- Click a window - to make screenshot of a window \\\n  OR\n- Click desktop or the edge of the screen - to make screenshot of the whole desktop\n\n2. Release mouse button. Your screenshot is now saved to your clipboard.\n   You can paste it somewhere, e.g. into Gimp, Hangouts or a Skype conversation.\n\n## Advanced usage\n\n### Annotations\n\nSelect screenshot range with one of above ways, press and hold `Shift` key and release `Left Mouse Button`.\nThe tool will enter Annotation mode.\n\nIn Annotation mode, current tool can be changed with `Space`.\n\nThe following tools are implemented:\n\n- Arrow - drag mouse to create an arrow\n- Freehand - drag mouse to create a freehand line\n- Line - draw mouse to create a horizontal or vertical line\n- Eraser - drag mouse to create a filled rectangle\n\nRelease `Shift` to save the screenshot to the clipboard.\n\nUse `Right Mouse Button` to undo last action (creating an annotation or selecting screenshot area).\n\n### Freezing screen\n\nAdd `--freeze` parameter to take capture of the whole screen right after starting the tool,\nstill allowing you to select region or window of interest.\n\n## Saving screenshot\n\nIn addition to saving the screenshot to the clipboard, screentool will also save each captured \nscreenshot in `$HOME/screenshots` directory if such directory is present in the filesystem.\n\n### Known limitations\n\nDue to the nature of Go static linking, Go apps grow quickly in size.\nAs a result, if screentool is dropped out of filesystem cache, a noticeable lag may \noccur when starting the tool.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FKrystianD%2Fscreentool","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FKrystianD%2Fscreentool","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FKrystianD%2Fscreentool/lists"}
