X Steps Recorder
This program is a clone of PSR for Windows, a program that allows users to make a recording of all of the steps they took. (It's like a screen recorder except it doesn't record a video.)
The main differences are that this only runs on Linux, that it records your keystrokes too (!), and that it saves the output as standard html (base64-uri-encoded images) rather than mhtml. This allows for easy editing of the resultant file, such as to remove passwords you typed (which is why psr doesn't record keystrokes in the first place).
See the Releases Page.
Make sure you have scrot
installed; I recommend that you have imagemagick
and xdotool
installed as well (to add pointer to screenshots).
Usage: xsr [options] [outfile]
Options:
-o|--out outfile Output file name (also can be first argument)
-e|--edit-images-before-save Edit images before saving file
-d|--image-deps Do not convert images to base64; instead, output the dependent file and it's resources directory
-c|--image-extension=ext Extension of image output (png or jpg)
-u|--capture-focused Captured the focused window only
-q|--quiet Supress output to STDOUT
--mouse-icon|--cursor=file Specify cursor image (default: the one installed to /usr/share/xsr/Cursor.png)
--no-mouse Do not add mouse to screenshots
--countdown[=seconds] Display countdown (default 5)
--no-countdown Don't display countdown
-h|--help Print this message
To quit, press Break
(usually Shift
+Pause
). Ctrl
+C
works most of time fine too, although xsr will record that keypress.
