When using Spectacle with the delay mode, the program still requires a click. 

Unchecking "On click" and setting Delay to 3 seconds produces the following results:

1. Spectacle window disappears
2. 3 seconds pass
3. A box appears in the upper left corner: "Create screenshot with left click or enter. Escape or right click to cancel"
4. A screenshot is made on click.


Checking "On click" (delay disabled), the following happens:

1. Spectacle window disappears
2. A box appears immediately in the upper left corner: "Create screenshot with left click or enter. Escape or right click to cancel"
3. A screenshot is made on click.


The requirement to click in the first case is confusing and unexpected. My expectation is that after 3 seconds, a screenshot would be automatically made with no further interaction.

We should probably just remove or disable the click setting on Wayland since it's mandatory there.

Spectacle shows "Create screenshot with left click or enter. Escape or right click to cancel" even when I set "No delay" and "On click" is unchecked.
This non sense behavior makes impossible to take a screenshot including a tooltip on Wayland.
