Capture mouse pointer with "import"?

Hi,

I didn't find any documentation on how to capture mouse pointer with "import", si I think this is currently not possible.

I would love to be able to do that without installing big graphical apps with lots of deps like xfce4-screenshooter or gnome-screenshot.

Indeed, I was trying to report a bug in Inkscape, where the tool selected is incorrect and this can be 'seen' only by the change in the mouse pointer...

Add the -screen option to your import command. Does that work?

It did not work for me

I have 2 screens, I use:

import -window-id xxxx myimage.png

I would like to remark where is the mouse or at least that the mouse can be visible, because it is where I want to click

Thank you very much
