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
2020-05-08 12:56:25 +10:00
# Cmd+Shift+p: Select area
2020-05-01 19:57:48 +10:00
# Cmd+Alt+p Current output
# Cmd+Ctrl+p Select a window
2020-05-08 12:56:25 +10:00
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
2020-05-01 19:57:48 +10:00
```
# TARGETS

captures it.
