Using peek for screen capture

[RaZ0rr-Two]

Is anyone using peek with hlwm ?

I have picom which allows peek to capture screen but I cannot see inside.

If anyone has it set up, then please share it.

Here, peek works as expected. What do you mean by "cannot see inside"? Here, I can see through the hole of the peek window as expected.

(By the way: if you want to click inside the peek window, you need the current git version of hlwm and need to disable the window decorations of the window)

Oops. I'm really sorry. I can see inside because of picom. But I cannot click inside. I'll try the git version. But what do you mean by window decorations? Which setting is that referring to?

Run:

hc keybind Mod4-Shift-d attr clients.focus.decorated toggle

and then while peek is focused, press Mod4-Shift-d

Thanks for the help. Shall I create an issue for this so that others can find it?

No, I think it will be solved automatically in upcoming releases. And for the time being, we have the present discussion. (Congratulations 🎉 by the way for being the first person to use the discussion on the hlwm repo 🎉 😸 )

Thanks. I thought this was more suited for the subreddit but I saw the discussion option.
