It's super snappy and easy to toggle on and off for quick annotations.
Very useful for live demonstrations and reference markup. But it also doubles as a full-fledged screenshot tool! I'm mostly using this instead of Flameshot since Wayscriber is much quicker to use: toggle, draw, Ctrl-Shift-P ... done!
It can be as advanced or simple as you prefer, sporting 3 different UI complexity modes. There's in-app help via F1. You can toggle the toolbar with F2. All very simple.
Also very customizable. To edit the the app's preferences you either manually edit the config file or (recommended) install the companion `wayscriber-configurator` and then use F11 to edit prefs in a GUI.
A few tips:
To toggle the tool, I've mapped Super/Command + D for Draw, which is easy to remember and feels pretty natural. I also recommend changing a few keys: E for Eraser and C for Clear all.
