Just screenshots the monitor that the mouse is on.

@naelstrof Hi! I wrote a fork of this gist with some additions: notifications and xclip integration for the user to get the path of saved image. I am thinking about releasing it as part of my wm-scripts repo which is licensed under GPL-3. Since this gist does not have an explicit license - may I ask for your permission to release it under that license?

The attribution will be preserved, of course.

Yeah! Go right ahead. Anything I post on gist I kinda intend to be under the MIT license. But usually anything I post there is so tiny I forget to do so haha. Thanks for letting me know.
