📸 Screenshot utility for wayland
grim + slurp is good way but it doesn't "freeze" screen to screenshot. For example,
using slurp you can't screen tooltips and some other things.
This app make screenshot of full display then allows to select region to capture in frozen screen.
TL;DR: this app allows to screenshot hover-only elements.

%n Newline char ('\n')I don't know what formats are supported, see docs.rs/image if you really
interested. Fullscreen mode (-f) is just default grim behavior (making screenshot without drawing
something on screen), I added it just for fun.
