I'm looking for a way to take quick region screenshots on Linux using hotkeys. Most screenshot applications seem more focused on annotating images, which isn't what I need. Customization options are a bonus, but I'm not expecting anything to match ShareX's incredible capabilities. I'm using Void Linux, X11, and NVIDIA.

While there's no official ShareX for Linux, I've found that Flameshot and Ksnip are both solid for handling screenshots. If you're also looking to capture video, OBS or SimpleScreenRecorder could work well too. Just a heads up, if you want ShareX-style uploads, it might not be as seamless, but the native apps are pretty decent.
I tried KSnip as a temporary fix, but it’s disappointing that there isn’t a screenshot tool that’s solely focused on just taking screenshots.
