SUMMARY I do a lot of web development and for that I find myself often in the situation to only screenshot certain areas instead of a complete window or the full screen. Inside spectacle's main window there is a dropdown option for capture mode and it only lists "Full Screen" or "Window Under Cursor" for me. So I guess this issue is sort of a feature request to only capture parts of the screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open spectacle 2. Click on the "Area" dropdown 3. Only 2 Options are available ("Full Screen" and "Window Under Cursor") OBSERVED RESULT When pressing the "print" button my cursor turns into a cross and I was expecting that drawing a rectangle with the mouse would overlay a marquee and screenshot only that area. Instead nothing happens and the full screen is captured. EXPECTED RESULT Drawing a rectangle with the mouse would display an overlay with the selected region and capture only that.
