Recording

For screen recording I use gpu-screen-recorder with this command.

gpu-screen-recorder \
        -w screen \
        -f 60 \
        -o "$HOME/Videos/recording_$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).mp4" &

For ending the recording I use: pkill -f gpu-screen-recorder. I have banded those commands to shortcuts inside the Hyprland.

Screenshots

I use Grimblast with shortcuts like this:

"Super, O, exec, grimblast -n copy area"
"Super Control_L, O, exec, grimblast -n edit area"
", Print, exec, grimblast copy area"

Importing Fonts from Files:

I have some fonts that are not available as a native NixOS package. Because of this I need to import them directly from a .ttf/.otf file. To do this I’ve written this small module. The replace the <GlobalPathToDirWithYourFontFiles> to make it work on your system.

{
  flake.nixosModules.fontsImport = {pkgs, ...}: let
    myLocalFonts = pkgs.runCommand "my-local-fonts" {} ''
      mkdir -p $out/share/fonts
      cp <GlobalPathToDirWithYourFontFiles>/*.{ttf,otf} $out/share/fonts/ || true
    '';
  in {
    fonts.packages = [
      myLocalFonts
    ];
  };
}
