You can, and also @flameshot provides more tools and colors, but it is a “still frame” because Flameshot captures the screenshot first, and then let the user to annotate it. Therefore it is not useful if a video is playing in the background or slides are changing or moving through the code.

Side note:: I’m one of the maintainers of Flameshot ;) and I’m glad you have found it handy :ablobcatattention:

@Pantherina I don’t know what you mean by Autoremove, but here are some tips:

Undo the last line by Meta+Shift+F12

Clean everything by Meta+Shift+F11

In the latest version (at least the one that is in KDE’s git repo, users can change all those keybindings. Checkout mousemark.kcfg and mousemark\_config.ui files in this link:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/46807b1a72f1d760b52b92a574face4a7a509a39

I don’t yet have #Plasma6, so I’m not sure if it is already shipped there or not. But the code is done and it is just the matter of time :)

It seems the Github mirror is way out of date. I checked the https://invent.kde.org (the KDE’s Gitlab instance) and found out that during the past 6 months MouseMark has received some updates, especially about the logic of arrow drawing:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/46807b1a72f1d760b52b92a574face4a7a509a39

But as far as I can tell, even if you have the latest build from the latest source code, the general process of drawing is the same:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/plugins/mousemark/mousemark.cpp#L178-192

Basically this is the chuck of code responsible which is how I figured out how to draw an arrow:

https://github.com/KDE/kde-workspace/blob/257b997132217fd73a1b3be14db49735b64235e7/kwin/effects/mousemark/mousemark.cpp#L204-L214

I also don’t see any part in the code that can throw the error. Considering that this is such a simple code and have not changed for about a decade, I don’t think the issue is wayland/x11 either.

I suggest filing a bug report with the screenshot of the error and etc.:

😅 😂 Yeah, That’s why I explicitly explained the arrow-drawing process in my toot 😉 I also had this problem and figured out how to do it today. The keybinding and behavior for arrows is poorly designed imho and I hope KDE folks improve it.

But for now, this is how you should draw an arrow:

  1. move your mouse where you want the arrow head to be
  2. press **and release** Meta+Ctrl+Shift
  3. move your mouse to where the tail should be
  4. repeat step 2

The bottom right is great. Modern, warm, enough contrast, … . Imho going with plain blue or green backgrounds are becoming a cliche in KDE and tbh a little bit old-fashioned.
