Oh wow, I finally got around to playing with flameshot, other than having to figure out it only lives in the systray, it was pretty dope with options, and worked fine.  Thanks to everyone that recommended this!

I'm certain I'm not using wayland here after some googling last night, xorg itself works pretty solid for me, so I'm just blaming KDE/KWin for yet more wonky behavior.  I really wish KDE'd quit adding new features like wayland and other random crap and fix the core graphic issues they've had for some 15 years, like almost anything related to multi-monitor.

Flameshot is my favorite tool. Has many more functionalities than most and they are quite nice.
I use xorg with i3, but I've used it on gnome and KDE, so surely it works with Wayland.

I don't use KDE however I've used Flameshot for a couple of years now
and it's always worked flawlessly in GNOME under Wayland and Xorg.
