grimshot usage
*--notify*
Show notifications to the user that a screenshot has been taken.
*save*
Save the screenshot into a regular file. Grimshot will write images
files to *$XDG_SCREENSHOTS_DIR* if this is set (or defined
in `user-dirs.dir`), or otherwise fall back to `$XDG_PICTURES_DIR`
*copy*
Copy the screenshot data (as image/png) into the clipboard.
# SYNOPSIS
Grimshot is an easy to use screenshot tool for sway. It relies on grim, slurp
and jq to do the heavy lifting, and mostly provides an easy to use interface.
A recommended usage pattern is to just bind this to Super+P via sway:
```
# Screenshots:
# Cmd+P: Current window
# Cmd+Shift+p: Select area
# Cmd+Alt+p Current output
# Cmd+Ctrl+p Select a window
bindsym Mod4+p exec grimshot save active
bindsym Mod4+Shift+p exec grimshot save area
bindsym Mod4+Mod1+p exec grimshot save output
bindsym Mod4+Ctrl+p exec grimshot save window
```
# TARGETS
grimshot can capture the following named targets:
_active_
Captures the currently active window.
_screen_
Captures the entire screen. This includes all visible outputs.
_area_
Allows manually selecting a rectangular region, and captures that.
_window_
Allows manually selecting a single window (by clicking on it), and
captures it.
_output_
Captures the currently active output.
# OUTPUT
Grimshot will always print the filename of the captured screenshot to
stdout.
