MagickShot is a program to take screenshots using ImageMagick. It is more minimal than using scrot but more convenient than using ImageMagick. It is the perfect balance between the two. It also supports notification sounds.

Usage

`# user` magickshot --selection # take a screenshot of the selection
`# user` magickshot --window # take a screenshot of the specied window (default is focused window)
`# user` magickshot --selection --window # use the cursor to select a window to screenshot
`# user` magickshot --monitor # take a screenshot of the specified monitor (default option) (default is focused monitor, count starts from 0)
`# user` magickshot --display # take a screenshot of the entire display
