How can I set up Shutter to automatically capture the name(text) in the window title of any program I'm using?
In my case I need it to capture the title of a youtube video I'm currently watching and insert the text in the screenshot filename when I hit the PrintScreen button.
I'm using Librewolf browser.
Can Shutter do this? If not then how can I automate this myself? Thanks!

This is currently not possible. But when capturing a window, Shutter pastes the window title into the screenshot's file name. You can also configure Shutter to automatically put file name into the clipboard. So you could:

  1. Do the screenshot.
  2. Open the drawing tool.
  3. Select the text tool.
  4. Paste the file name.
  5. Remove the counter from the pasted file name.
