flameshot: Create a screenshot and copy it to the clipboard.
$ flameshot gui --clipboard
try on your machine
The command "flameshot gui --clipboard" is used to launch the Flameshot application with the graphical user interface (GUI) and enable the clipboard functionality.
Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- "flameshot" is the name of the application being executed. Flameshot is a powerful screenshot and annotation tool for Linux.
- "gui" tells Flameshot to open its graphical user interface (GUI) instead of the command-line interface.
- "--clipboard" is an option that enables Flameshot to automatically copy the captured screenshot or annotation to the clipboard. This allows you to easily paste and share the screenshot or annotation elsewhere.
So, when you run this command, the Flameshot application will open its GUI, allowing you to capture screenshots or annotate them. Additionally, any screenshots or annotations made will be automatically copied to your clipboard, so you can conveniently paste them into other applications or share them with others.
