Does this work on Wayland or just X11? That's where every screenshot tool I've tried falls apart on Linux. The whole xdg-desktop-portal + PipeWire dance for getting capture permissions is a different world from X11 and I'm curious if Tauri abstracts any of that or if you had to roll your own.

The multi-monitor DPI handling is what caught my eye honestly. I run a 4K + 1080p setup and Flameshot constantly captures the wrong region or shifts everything by a few pixels on the scaled display. If this actually gets that right it already solves my biggest annoyance.

One thing I'd love to see: global hotkey → region select → clipboard. That's 95% of my screenshot workflow and the reason I haven't been able to ditch Flameshot despite how janky it is.
