Zappy – Screen capture tool

If you're looking for a Linux alternative, I've gotten a lot of use of https://flameshot.js.org/ (which I invoke with the print screen key). It "just works" and has a bunch of editing tools close at hand.

Is there a Linux alternative that allows me to film portion of the desktop and do neat little arrow annotations live and everything?

Peek can film portion of the screen but probably can't do annotations https://github.com/phw/peek

Thank you. I use SimpleScreenRecorder for this at the moment.

Yes it doesn't do annotations. It is still very useful though, been using it for years.

Flameshot looks interesting. Also, if you're using gnome 3 (standard ubuntu, in my case) the screenshot tool extension is great. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1112/screenshot-tool/

Screenshot functionality is built into gnome:

PrintScr: Whole screen to png in pictures folder Shift+PrintScr: Drag box over area to screenshot Alt+PrintScr: Screenshot the window, with a transparent box shadow around it Adding ctrl to any of those puts it on clipboard instead of pictures folder

Ctrl Shift Alt R records a 30 second webm of the desktop

Thanks for saying so - I had no idea. I imagine this extension is simply a UI built atop that functionality.

Very good to know!

Does it support annotation with text and arrows like Flameshot or Zappy do? This is my main reason for coming back to Flameshot.

For people who want a lightweight, KISS, Unix philosophy tool, I can recommend maim.
