Is there anything comparable to ShareX for Linux?


As the title says, is there anything comparable to ShareX for Linux?

With screenshot + video recording, uploading, "quick editor" and hotkeys?

I know of Fireshot, etc. but they all kind of suck as far as I've seen...

I don't know what you're missing, but if this is basically a screenshot tool, each of flameshot and spectacle are very good, and in the near future spectacle will also do video recording, I think.

You'll have to roll your own with a script, which can do this very easily. Bind it to a hotkey. If you're on Wayland, grim+slurp can be used to automate something like this in conjunction with a python (or js/bash) script that does the uploading if the image hosting service has an API. Copy this URL into your clipboard as the final act (and fire off a call to notify-send, for notifications, if you want).

Ha, I've also been wondering this for a while. Would love an answer, unfortunately threads like this often go ignored here, but we'll see.

I also only know fireshot which is not that good :/
