Screen Pause

Pause a part of the screen and drag it around. No need to bother resizing windows. Handy if you're writing and need to keep checking a reference, or comparing things.

• Python 3
• XFCE (at the moment this is designed to work only on my computer)

pip install screenpause

This provides the screenpause command. Installing does not set a hotkey; do one of the following:

• On XFCE desktops (Linux Mint XFCE, Xubuntu), run

  screenpause-setup-hotkey

  to bind ctrl+alt+p.

• On any other desktop, bind the screenpause command to a key of your choice in your system keyboard settings (if the shortcut does not fire, use the full path from which screenpause).

From a clone of this repo, ./setup_hotkey_mint.sh does the same binding without needing a pip install.

Default hotkey: ctrl+alt+p

• Pause a region of the screen with 'ctrl+alt+p'. Simply click and drag. Once paused, you can move the paused screenshot around, hit the 'play' button to release it.
