NOTE: Read man wayshot for flag information.

Region Selection:

wayshot -s "$(slurp)"

Fullscreen:

wayshot

Screenshot and copy to clipboard:

wayshot --stdout | wl-copy

Pick a hex color code, using ImageMagick:

wayshot -s "$(slurp -p)" --stdout | convert - -format '%[pixel:p{0,0}]' txt:-|egrep "#([A-Fa-f0-9]{6}|[A-Fa-f0-9]{3})" -o

Multi monitor systems break on --slurp usage. This is quite the tricky bug and will need some refactoring which we're currently working on. (https://github.com/waycrate/wayshot/issues/7)
