qrshot's Issues

edit for wayland

Sorry i do not yet have a pull request, but for those looking for this convenient script to work under wayland:
You might be able to replace the code line scrot .... with zbarimg -1 --quiet --raw <(grim -g "$(slurp)" - ) | wl-copy
it seems to work for me. Maybee it does for you. You need to have slurp grim and wl-copy installed.
