Desktopfreeglobal

slurp is a small command-line tool for Wayland compositors that lets scripts prompt the user to select a screen region or a single point and prints the selection to stdout. It is intended for Sway and wlroots-based environments and for developers building screenshot or window-selection workflows, and is available on GitHub under an MIT license; it is commonly used alongside grim for capturing images.
