Making Flameshot's "Choose an app to open the capture" option work in i3wm
If you use the Flameshot screenshot capture and annotation utility, you might have noticed that the Choose an app to open the capture (or Ctrl-O
) option doesn't work right: something flashes quickly on the screen but nothing happens.
That's Flameshot throwing a fit because it can't open a popup window with the size it wants in i3. So to make this option work, let it 🙂
Add this line to your .config/i3/config
:
for_window [class="flameshot"] floating enable
As a bonus, it also makes the configuration screen look better.
