Not just screenshots like hyprshot, but also recording videos of part of the screen. I used to use spectacle but there’s no way without kwin.

    i have this script on a keybind.

    uses rofi, slurp and gpu-screen-recorder

    modify as needed. i dont remember where i got it from originally

    #!/bin/env bash
    
    recorder_check() {
    	if pgrep -x "gpu-screen-reco" > /dev/null; then
    			pkill -INT -x gpu-screen-reco
    			notify-send "Stopping all instances of gpu-screen-recorder" "$(cat /tmp/recording.txt)"
    			cat /tmp/recording.txt | wl-copy
    			exit 0
    	fi
    }
    
    recorder_check
    
    SELECTION=$(echo -e "record selection\nrecord eDP-1\nrecord DP-4" | rofi -dmenu -p "󰄀 ")
    
    VID="${HOME}/video/recordings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%m-%s).mp4"
    
    case "$SELECTION" in
    	"record selection")
    		echo "$VID" > /tmp/recording.txt
        # Get selection geometry
        read X Y W H <<< $(slurp -f "%x %y %w %h")
    
        # Get monitor info (JSON)
        MONITORS=$(hyprctl monitors -j)
    
        # Find the monitor containing the selection and extract its scale
        SCALE=$(echo "$MONITORS" | jq -r \
          --argjson x "$X" --argjson y "$Y" '
          .[] | select(.x <= $x and .y <= $y and
                       ($x < (.x + .width)) and
                       ($y < (.y + .height))) | .scale')
