# sshots

Script to take screenshot of your desktop.

## Features:

Following are the features provided by this script:

* Take full screenshot

* Take active window screenshot

* Take selected region screenshot

* Take delayed screenshot

* Copy only the screenshot(for screenshots with no future need)

* Copy and also save the screenshot

* Edit the screenshot to provide it nice look(shadow and custom background)

* Get screenshot preview with notification

## Options:

You can get the all the information with `--help|-h` option. Here are also few other options with previews:

### full window screenshot

To take full window screenshot, use `--full|-f` option

![full_window_sshot](./sshots_repo/fullscreen_sshot.png)

### acitve window screenshot

To take acitve window screenshot, use `--window|-w` option

![active_window_sshot](./sshots_repo/active_window_sshot.png)

### selected region screenshot

To take selected region screenshot, use `--range|-r` option

![selected_region_screenshot](./sshots_repo/selected_region_ssshot.png)

### delayed screenshot

For delayed screenshot, use `--delay|-dl` option. Few things to note here though:

* By-default, delay is set for `5 sec`

* You can provided either `--full|-f` or `--window|-w` option after `--delay|-dl`, to take the respective type of screenshot

* If no option is provided then by-default, it'll take _fullscreen screenshot_ after the time interval

### screenshot with dmenu

Use `--dmenu|-dm` option to get dmenu prompt with all the options supported

![dmenu_sshot](./sshots_repo/dmenu_option_sshot.png)

Here are the options supported through dmenu prompt:

* Fullscreen

* Active Window

* Selected Region(Range)

* Delay(Fullscreen)

* Delay(Window)

* Fullscreen(copy only)

* Active Window(copy only)

* Selected Region(copy only)

* Delay(Fullscreen + copy only)

* Delay(Window + copy only)

* Fullscreen(screenshot + copy)

* Active Window(screenshot + copy)

* Selected Region(screenshot + copy)

* Delay(Fullscreen + screenshot + copy)

* Delay(Window + screenshot + copy)

* Quit

`copy only` means that it'll not save the screenshot for further use. This is beneficial for quick sharing of screenshot with no future use.

`screenshot + copy` means that it'll copy as well as save the screenshot.

## Dependencies

* `maim` -> screenshot taking utility

* `notification-daemon` -> for taken screenshot previews with notification

* `xdotool` -> to get the active window for screenshot

`NOTE: For better usage, bind this script with options you desire to your keyboard as shortcut.`
