Hand-rolling screenshot taking solution

Here's my handrolled solution for taking screenshot on my arch linux, using imagemagick, feh & xbindkeys for taking & displaying the just-taken screenshot on my arch linux:

# 1. Installing the required packages

pacman -S xbindkeys feh imagemagick

# 2. Scripting ~/bin/take-screenshots

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

#!/bin/bash dir=~/pictures/screenshots [ -d $dir ] || mkdir -p $dir file=${dir}/`ls ${dir} | wc -l`.png import -window root ${file} feh $file

#3. Inserting the <PrtSc> key binding in ~/.xbindkeysrc

1 2 3

"~/bin/take-screenshots" m:0x0 + c:107 Print

Restart ur X server & pressing <PrtSc> should pop up the just-taken screenshot.
