Flameshot
Flameshot is a program for taking screenshots. It has an interactive GUI with controls to select the desired capture region, move and resize the capture window, make edits with common drawing tools (pencil, line, rectangle, circle, blur, undo/redo), and choose the output destination (copy to clipboard, save to disk, upload to Imgur, open with another program).

Installation
Install the flameshot package, or flameshot-gitAUR for the development version.
Troubleshooting
Sub-commands exit immediately with no output
Option 1: Use dbus-launch
Some X clients (dwm, i3, xmonad, possibly others) must be started with dbus-launch in order for Flameshot to start when using its sub-commands (e.g., flameshot gui
, flameshot config
).
For example, using xinit:
~/.xinitrc
... exec dbus-launch dwm
See dbus-launch(1) for more information.
Option 2: Run as background process
Alternatively, you can start Flameshot as a background process at any time during your X session:
$ flameshot &
