slurp is a small C utility that lets users interactively select a region, point, or output on screen in a Wayland compositor and prints the selection geometry to stdout. It pairs naturally with grim for taking screenshots on Wayland.
Use cases
- select a screen region to screenshot on wayland
- pick a point on screen from a script
- select a monitor/output interactively
- select a window geometry under sway
- get screen coordinates for automation scripts
When to choose
- you need interactive region selection on Wayland
- you script screenshots with grim
- you use Sway or another wlroots-based compositor
When to avoid
- you are on X11 (use slop instead)
- you need a GUI screenshot tool with editing features
