# NAME

maim-utils - A few common screenshot options rolled into one script based on maim

# SYNOPSIS

*maim-utils* _<fullscreen|focus|selection|fancy>_

*maim-utils* _<clip-fullscreen|clip-focus|clip-selection|fancy-clip>_

# DESCRIPTION

I wrote around six scripts to take screenshots in various different ways a few
years ago and at some point I got the idea to turn it into a single script.
*maim-utils* is the result of that. It only took me a few years to finally get
to it.
