How to take screenshot of AN AREA WITH right click option displayed

I did the following “full screenshot” to capture what is displayed on right click over nazar.gpg file.

due to fullscreenshot it is capturing all the unnecessary info which i was not planning for it.

I cannot however take screenshot with right mouse click followed by Ctrl+Shift+print to do the same. when i press the hotkey combination the right click option vanishes.

Open gnome-screenshot, set a timer, right click, then edit the screenshot image if you need.

i want this function with area to grab

Gnome screenshot cannot do that. I’m not aware of any alternatives that can do this.

ImageMagick’s import can do this, but I think it’s broken on Wayland based sessions.

You can build it and try. It doesn’t have many dependencies and should be easy to build.

Just tried today, and after some fixing i get it working
There is my steps:

# Flameshot 
sudo swupd bundle-add qt-basic-dev
cd ~/Downloads/ && git clone https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot && cd flameshot
sed -i '1i#include "qpainterpath.h"' src/third-party/Qt-Color-Widgets/src/color_wheel.cpp 
sed -i '1i#include "qpainterpath.h"' src/tools/arrow/arrowtool.cpp
qmake && sudo make install

There is two files who need to be fixed in source code to make it work on qt 5.15. After all working fine with “flameshot gui” and other variants.

btw, working on wayland too.

Just installed from source and here are the steps I took:

sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-qttools devpkg-qtsvg
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ../
make -j4
sudo make install
