Usage: shot [options] Takes screenshots of your desktop. Basic options -h, --help Shows this help. -o, --output PATH Saves the target image in PATH. The default file name is of the form "yyyymmdd_hhiiss_rrr.png", where "r" is a random character (example: 20150721_103014_ukd.png), and the file is placed in current working directory. If the PATH ends with /, it will be appended with default file name. Target directory needs to exist prior to invocation. Currently, only PNG format is supported. -c, --clipboard Puts the target image in the system clipboard. Overrides --output. Available only on Windows. --list Lists all monitors and exits. -v, --version Shows shot's version and exists. Options specific to screenshot regions By default, the region is equivalent to --desktop. -d, --desktop Takes region from the area bounding all monitors. -r, --region REGION Takes region from string. REGION needs to be of form WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y or WIDTHxHEIGHT. -m, --monitor NUM Takes region from NUM-th monitor. -w, --window NUM Takes region from window with id NUM. -M, --active-monitor Takes region from the currently active monitor. -W, --active-window Takes region from the currently active window. -i, --interactive Creates a resizable and movable window, whose final position and size will be used to derive the region. Controlling interactive region picker The interactive region picker's window can be moved with left mouse button and resized with right mouse button. Following keyboard shortcuts are also available: h, left Moves left by DELTA. k, up Moves up by DELTA. j, down Moves down by DELTA. l, right Moves right by DELTA. ctrl+h, ctrl+left Shrinks horizontally by DELTA. ctrl+k, ctrl+up Shrinks vertically by DELTA. ctrl+j, ctrl+down Grows horizontally by DELTA. ctrl+l, ctrl+right Grows vertically by DELTA. esc, q Cancels (exits without taking a screenshot). enter Confirms selection and takes a screenshot. DELTA is equal to 25px by default, and 1px when shift key is pressed. By default, the interactive region picker starts with a 640x480 rectangle centered on the primary monitor. This can be controlled by prepending other region arguments before -i. For example, "shot -W -i" will create interactive region picker whose initial location and size is set to that of the currently focused window. Examples shot Takes a screenshot of the area bounding all available monitors. shot --list Doesn't take a screenshot and lists monitors instead. shot -W --output=/home/sseagal/ Takes a screenshot of focused window and saves it to /home/sseagal/.
