> A simple and fast screenshot utility for X11 that aims to emulate macOS' screenshot tool.   

> Supports region, window, and fullscreen capture.

A compositor is required. Colors of the overlay can be edited in `src/overlay.rs`.

**Note:** Be sure to compile the project with the `--release` flag, as the speedup is exponential!

## Usage

Global keybinds must be handled by your window manager.  

```

xscreen [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] 

FLAGS:

    -h, --help         Prints help information

    -r, --region       Captures a region of the screen

    -V, --version      Prints version information

    -w, --window       Captures a specific window

OPTIONS:

    -d, --delay     Delay the screenshot by the specified duration

ARGS:

        Specifies the directory in which the screenshot will be saved. Default is $HOME.

```

## Clipboard

Copying the image to your clipboard can be done through e.g. `xclip`:

```

$ xscreen /tmp/xscreen.png

$ xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i /tmp/xscreen.png

```
