            Bug ID: 470618
           Summary: Command line option to take screenshot instantly
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Spectacle
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
Currently spectacle can select a region to screenshot and take an image of it
through `spectacle -b -r -o filename.png`. But it always has the UI for "save,
save as , copy, export etc..." on the region select screen and it always
requires either double clicking or pressing enter to save finish taking the
screenshot.

I'm looking for a way to use spectacle with *just*
1. execute spectacle through command line with cli parameters
2. region selection without any other UI elements
3. immediately finish taking screenshot after letting go of left mouse button

For reference, what I'm talking about is like:
`grim -g "$(slurp)"` using https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/grim in combination with
https://github.com/emersion/slurp
and gnome-screenshot's `gnome-screenshot -a -f file.png`
and `maim --select file.png` with https://github.com/naelstrof/maim

I think none of the above work on KDE plasma for different reasons (maim is x11
only, grim uses a wlroots extension, and I think gnome-screenshot only works
with gnome's compositor)
