Hi,

Does anyone know a screenshot taking and snipping application,
similar to the Shutter (http://shutter-project.org/), but 'more suckless'.
It is a tool that
- takes a screenshot
- allows to select area and crop
- is implemented in C
- without enormous list of dependencies
- is simpler, without too many edit or sharing features.

IOW, something similar to the Snipping Tool known from Windows Vitsa/7+.

Do you know anything like that?

Best regards,

Scrot fits your list of feature requirements in 56KB. It's in extra.

Doesn't your desktop environment have one?

I'm happy with xfce4-screenshooter plugin for Xfce.

Hi,

I would strongly recommend "Deepin Scrot". You can find a review of it
here [1]. It's also available on the AUR [2].

Your X environment has one, in the package xorg-xwd:

I guess we have to assume that there is a DE.

I have scrot configured [1] to print screen under i3wm, but I have
completely missed the fact it has the nice --select option.

That is what I'm looking for, thanks!

Nope. I do not use DE. I use i3 window manager.
Anyway, my problem solved with scrot.

I had no idea about Xwd.
Thanks for pointing to another interesting tool.

Despite I like Python and I do a lot of Python programming,
Python-based software do not fit the concept of lightweight,
lean and 'suckless' tools I like to use on my Linux :-)
