Community Tool: Screenshot Annotation Workflow for COSMIC

[jardahrazdera]

Hey everyone!

I've been daily-driving COSMIC since beta and loving it. One thing I really missed was the ability to annotate screenshots immediately after capturing them, so I built a small bridge tool while waiting for native features to evolve.

What it does:

• Integrates Satty (annotation tool) with grim/slurp
• Click once to capture full monitor, drag to select region
• Screenshots open immediately in Satty for editing
• Auto-saves to ~/Screenshots/ with timestamps
• Includes a workaround for COSMIC's keyboard shortcut spawning issues using gtk-launch

Repository: https://github.com/jardahrazdera/cosmic-satty-screenshot

It's designed to work alongside the native cosmic-screenshot tool rather than replace it - I keep both configured for different use cases.

Sharing this in case anyone else finds it useful! If any implementation ideas help with native features down the road, feel free to use them.
