Description

It's frustrating to want to screenshot the cursor state, but when I launch flameshot GUI, the cursor disappears.

Can it be enabled from settings GUI,

  • include pointer

That would be very helpful

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a setting to include the cursor in screenshots. Investigate how the GUI captures the screen and modify to capture cursor image.
