Scrot remastered: A new tool for Debian/Raspbian users

Hello there, this is my first blog post on the DEV forum so please bear with me!

This article is to talk about how a particular package I made, it's called Scrot remastered.

We all know about the popular scrot tool, used by Linux and distro users for screenshots. But when I first used it on my Debian based Raspberry Pi, I didn't find it all that "flexible". The terminal had to be opened and everytime I had to type in the command to take the screenshot.

Quite hectic imo. So I decided, screw this imma make my own tool and maybe others can use it as well, so here is scrot remastered.

It's quite simple to use.

Since it's written in python, we begin with the classic pip install scrotrem command.

Once this is done, we move on to the python command which opens a Python shell in the terminal.

Finally import scrotrem

After this you can minimize the terminal, head to your webpage or screen that you want to screenshot and press 'tab;, press 'tab' for the number of times you want the screenshot to be taken, maybe at multiple locations too!

After you're done messing around to close it press the 'delete' key.

As simple as it gets, no root user required, now that's what I'd call "flexible". If you liked this package please do star it on GitHub and contributions are always open!
