flameshot: Create a screenshot with a specific delay in milliseconds.
$ flameshot full --delay ${5000}
try on your machine

The command "flameshot full --delay ${5000}" is used to capture a full screen screenshot using the Flameshot screenshot tool with a delay of 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "flameshot" is the command to invoke the Flameshot screenshot tool.
  • "full" specifies that a full screen screenshot should be taken.
  • "--delay" is an option flag used to add a delay before capturing the screenshot.
  • "${5000}" is the value provided to the "--delay" option. It sets the delay to 5000 milliseconds (or 5 seconds) before taking the screenshot.

So when you execute this command, it will wait for 5 seconds and then capture a screenshot of the entire screen using Flameshot.
