Lightshot app not starting up.
I like others in the comments here, found FlameShot on github https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot which seems to be a carbon copy of LightShot with some very good extra features! Source: 9 months ago
Microsoft to change PrintScreen button to open the Snipping Tool in Windows 11
I feel like it's actually a rare great idea out of Microsoft. Too bad the Shipping Too sucks eggs compared to FlameShot (now available on Windows!): https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#preview ;). - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
flameshot not working in sway (typing "flameshot gui" hangs in the terminal)
See these links for more info: * flameshot: flameshot gui from cli does nothing.

Draw on screenshots
Don't know if this solves your problem but I'm using flameshot for these kinds of things since many years. It's a great screenshot utility tool and I've configured DWM to take a screenshot / open up flameshot when pressing a certain key combo. It allows everything you'd want from such a utility (including drawing, annotating, numbering, ...). Source: over 1 year ago
