Flameshot is the best! I've been using it for 10+ years. I have it wired up to some hot keys in my window manager, and have it dump to s3 so I can paste around links to screenshots everywhere for work.

I wanted something like this too but I modified Flameshot so I don't need a bash script in-between.

Flameshot already has a feature to upload to Imgur so I modified that and also added some small things (like randomized file names, some new config options).

    Didn't they remove it though? Because someone complained about "privacy" or something? Devs promised to bring it back as the plugin, but I wasn't following progress on it, I don't know if that happened yet.

It stopped working for me after I switched to Wayland

  • The above works on wayland, had to make the changes specifically when I moved over to wayland and hyprland

  • Same for me. I would love to use it on my Sway desktop, but never managed to make it run there.

    • This works for me on PopOS Cosmic (Wayland). Please lmk if my flags are incorrect.

yep, I bound it to win+shift+s like the screenshots in windows when I made the flip to full time linux a couple years ago.

Fell in absolute love with the controls though. Way more powerful than windows screenshots.
