Might be easy to implement on Wayland given the impending implementation of native compositor screencasting support. Is spectacle the place to expose the feature though? 🤔 We've had multiple requests to add this to Spectacle, so... maybe? However since it would be using a compositor feature, Spectacle could be just one of multiple potential entry points I suppose. GNOME shell has a global keyboard shortcut to start recording the whole screen which I quite like. *** Bug 404346 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** > Is spectacle the place to expose the feature though? 🤔
Spectacle currently exposes screen recording application in "Tools" > "Screen recording" like simplescreenrecorder and obs.
But ultimately having an always available shortcut activated, short duration screen recording feature would be nice IMO.
But given this is not a simple feature, I would not expect it soon.
TBH it's not a hard thing to do as soon as the screencasting feature gets merged. What worries me is that spectacle UX is already quite complex and I don't think we want to end up with anything similar. Having a ticket somewhere gathering which features we need would be useful. For example I don't really see the 45 second video as something really useful, but then maybe that's just how I generally do the videos and I wouldn't want to extrapolate my experience. Also assuming that OBS is support it does remove quite a bit the need for yet another app to do the same. Maybe just so it's a bit simpler? Spectacle 23.04 has this on Wayland now! |
