Description Jan Bidler 2025-10-12 21:05:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
When launching spectacle via a shortcut (in my case CTRL+SHIFT+S for a rectangular selection), it is not affected by the delay option.
Other settings, such as "include mouse cursor" *do* work as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a delay (e.g. 5 seconds)
2. Launch spectacle via a keyboard shortcut

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle opens as normal

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle opens with delay applied, as if you clicked the option from the "new screenshot" spectacle menu.
