Not just screenshots like hyprshot, but also recording videos of part of the screen. I used to use spectacle but there's no way without kwin.

Video recording:
OBS (specifically the replaybuffer for clips)
(i am using obs-cmd 'cause i never got the global hotkeys to work. idk why)

run it on startup so its ready for clips
exec-once = obs --minimize-to-tray --startreplaybuffer

save replay buffer (it keeps runnig after save)
bind = , F9, exec, obs-cmd replay save

start recording, or stop and save recording if it is already active
bind = , F10, exec, obs-cmd recording toggle

Screenshots:
hyprshot.
(0xff61 is the "print screen" key)

whole (active) monitor
bind = , 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode active --mode output --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots

select region (dragged by mouse):
bind = SHIFT, 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode region --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots

current (active) window
bind = CTRL, 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode active --mode window --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots
