Can you recommend me a tool compatible with GNOME and Wayland, that allows taking screenshots with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?

Flameshot worked well on X11, but unfortunately, it lacks Wayland support. ShareX was a great tool on Windows; now I’m looking for something similar for Wayland.

    GNOME has one built in. Just hit the “print screen” button and it should appear.

        Oops, sorry I didn’t notice that part. I’ve never seen anything like that to be honest. It kinda violates the whole “do only one thing and do it well” UNIX ethos. As a decent work-around, you can just open the resulting images in Gimp?

          That’s what I’ve been doing since flameshot stopped working for me. I ask about the built-in solution, because pasting the image into GIMP and blurring specific parts drastically increases the time to prepare such a screenshot

            Couldnt you just put a custom script onto the print button to take the screenshot and send it to a light editing program?
            I have my normal screenshot button and another one which afterwards send the selected region to img2txt and puts the detected text into the clipboard.

      with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?

      Unfortunately the built-in screenshot tool doesn’t have any editing capabilities.
