How to Take Screenshots in Hyprland

Taking screenshots in Hyprland is straightforward. Install the following tools:

  • grim - Screenshot utility for Wayland
  • slurp - Region selection tool for Wayland compositors
  • wl-clipboard - Clipboard utilities for Wayland

Install them with:

sudo pacman -S grim slurp wl-clipboard

I use the PRINT key as my screenshot hotkey. Add the following to your hyprland.conf:

bind = , PRINT, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy

This command lets you select a region on the screen and automatically copies the screenshot to your clipboard.

Cheers.
