Research direction
Start by reviewing the listed alternatives—xfce4-screenshooter, Flameshot, Peek, and Kooha—and the linked ShareX reference. Compare screenshot and GIF-capture coverage, then update the Screenshot tool notes with a suitable recommendation, installation details, and known limitations; remove the TODO when the recommendation is documented.

Description
Expected
Something as good as ShareX (GitHub repo) that I used on Windows
Potential solutions
Screenshot tool
-
Built-in:
xfce4-screenshooter(just search forScreenshotin the apps) -
pamac install flameshot- No gif capture
- Works fine for basic screenshotting
-
pamac install peek✔️- This works pretty well for gifs
- Only problem is that it's deprecated (as of 2023-01-14)
-
pamac install kooha❌- I couldn't get this one to work and seems like they don't support non-GNOME desktop environments.
