SUMMARY
see $SUBJECT

I would like to have an option to take partial screenshots with certain aspect ratios, e.g. 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 18:9, 21:9 etc. (portrait and landscape)

Spectacle could offer this either as an option when holding a modifier key, or "snap to" these common aspect ratios while drawing / resizing a rectangle, and display the snapped aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9) inside the rectangle in a corner or at the top.

Do you think this is feasible to do?
