I do not want to have to interactively select the area I want to take a screenshot of. I would rather do something like --area=x,y,height,width. Is there any screenshot utility that can do this?

  • I'm not aware of a region capability, you can do windows though. – slm Aug 05 '18 at 23:10

  • I do not see an answer in that proposed duplicate that answers this question, @vfbsilva. – Jeff Schaller Aug 06 '18 at 09:38
  • @JeffSchaller shutter allows you to select a given subscreen to copy – vfbsilva Aug 06 '18 at 20:32
  • Is it in the advanced options? It’s not described in the answer there. – Jeff Schaller Aug 06 '18 at 20:48
