Reviews

These are some of the external sources and on-site user reviews we've used to compare Spectacle App and maim

While custom sizes can only be done with Moom, the predefined window sizes are provided by Magnet and Spectacle out of the box, but can also be configured manually with Moom. It’s also possible to assign keyboard shortcuts. So, in this case, if you want all the features, Moom can do them all.

Automatically Saving Screenshots to a folder
For example on my wm config I use maim -- printscreen ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_s), spawn "maim -s ~/Pictures/$(date +%s).png"), ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_x), spawn "maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png"), Qtile is written in python and I guarantee you that you will learn plenty tinkering on your machine.

It's not a window manager I took screenshots using maim and edited them using GNU Image Manipulation Program. But if you're curious I use dwm as my window manager and kitty as my terminal emulator. Source: almost 2 years ago
What is cursor blending?
It was mentioned in this screenshot repository, I can't seem to grasp it because when I use it, nothing out of ordinary happens. Source: over 2 years ago
