DESCRIPTION
       grimpicker is a color picker that uses slurp and grim. These programs
       rely on zwlr_layer_shell_v1 and wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 (maybe be
       replaced with ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1
       in the future) wayland protocols (implemented in wlroots-based
       compositors, e.g. sway).

       It has several output options, they can be combined.

       --copy needs wl-clipboard to be installed.

       --draw and --escape need a terminal with truecolor support (e.g. foot).

       --notify needs libnotify to be installed and a notification daemon
       (e.g. mako or fnott) to be running.

       --print and --draw are selected by default if no arguments are
       provided.

EXAMPLES
       An example usage pattern is to add this binding to your sway config:

           # Super+Print: color picker
           bindsym --to-code $mod+Print exec grimpicker --notify
