Omarchy v3.4.0 Screenshot Fix: Restore Clipboard-Only Capture (Shift+Print)

 · 2 min read  ·

In Omarchy v3.4.0, the screenshot flow was unified.

Pressing PRINT now always does two things:

  1. Saves the screenshot to a file
  2. Copies it to your clipboard

Then a notification appears offering to open it in an editor.

That’s great for most workflows, but not if you just want to copy something quickly and paste it without filling your screenshots folder.

The old SUPER CTRL SHIFT, P clipboard-only binding was removed in this commit.

The good news: the clipboard-only behavior still exists.

The script still supports clipboard-only mode

Open:

~/.local/share/omarchy/bin/omarchy-cmd-screenshot

At the bottom, you’ll see:

if [[ $PROCESSING == "slurp" ]]; then
  grim -g "$SELECTION" "$FILEPATH" || exit 1
  wl-copy <"$FILEPATH"
  ...
else
  grim -g "$SELECTION" - | wl-copy
fi

When called with no extra args, PROCESSING defaults to slurp (save file + clipboard).

If you pass a different value as the second argument, it hits the else branch:

  • clipboard only
  • no file saved

The old binding used exactly this command:

omarchy-cmd-screenshot smart clipboard

The fix

Add this to your ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf (or dotfiles folder if you store it there):

bindd = SHIFT, PRINT, Screenshot to clipboard, exec, omarchy-cmd-screenshot smart clipboard

…and your copy to clipboard only functionality is back.

Now you have both modes:

  • PRINT → save to file + copy to clipboard (new default)
  • SHIFT + PRINT → copy to clipboard only (no file saved)

Simple, fast, and no screenshot-folder clutter.
