Flameshot is great! It was one of the reasons I have not switched to Wayland. Although it seems now they have wayland support in beta.

I think it's beta for a reason. I just tried the appimage for their latest release and it's behaving in the same broken way that I remember. I have a multi-monitor setup with different size & resolution screens, so that may be a factor for the problems I'm having. Really hope it'll work someday.

The good news is a few lines of shell scripting, grim, slurp and satty can be combined to create a decent alternative. Hit a hotkey, capture a region, get presented with a way to annotate it and easily copy it to your clipboard or write it to disk. I use it on a multi-monitor system and it works no problem with Wayland. Here's an example from my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/dot-screenshot https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/do... It supports capturing a region, a specific window or the focused monitor.

  Flameshot with sway has been a nightmare for me. I have tried a couple of times but i have never gotten it to work. I have settled with grimshot. The biggest missed feature is the number annotator. It was so easy with flameshot to annotate a screenshot with 1-9 and then refer to each number in a document. I really miss flameshot:(

    The solution I posted includes an incrementing number annotator btw. Satty has a lot of great features. You can even capture the whole screen so that you can crop it after you've done your annotation which is similar to how Flameshot works.

      Thank you so much. This has been such a pain for me when I write documentation.

      Thank you. I tried that. Having the interface run under Xwayland caused a ton of problems with my monitors. I also don't use a lot of QT apps so not being able to paste was a problem.

I have worked with Wayland + Flameshot for the past 2-3 years and it seems to work fine as far as I can tell.

  I'm guessing you don't have multiple monitors :)
