@Ian,

You can try Shutter or Flameshot, both of which offer similar features for Linux. With Flameshot, you can capture specific areas of the screen and adjust the selection without changing the frame size.

Another option is Ksnip, which also allows customizable capture areas and is frequently updated. You might need to experiment with the settings, but either of these should help you achieve what you’re looking for.

Let me know if it works for you!

This was perfect when I was creating a font from my handwriting, as I had to capture each letter individually from a scanned document.

I’ve been searching for a similar feature ever since, but no luck so far.

+1, for me ksnip is the best screenshot app for linux, but if you use wayland, you cannot take rectangular area screenshots.

@David,

Thank you for your kind words and feedback! I’m glad you found the article and the provided command lines helpful.

Linux was originally supposed to be uniform and standardized so that amateurs like me could operate and manage the software, but now that there are so many deviations/flavors because of various selfish-self-centered reasons of their authors – it’s far from standardized anymore.

Thank You! again though – for including the various versions of command lines – it was a great help and also a great comparison education!
