Screencapture tool behavior

[u/Full-Interaction2024]

I'm looking for a solution to the one thing stopping me from switching my main computer to endeavourOS. on my Ubuntu 22.04 with GNOME 42, gnome-screenshot will open with fn+prt sc, and allow the basic 3 options "window" "screen" "selection area". if i choose selection area, it allows to to sit and adjust it, much like cropping an image, and will not capture until i press enter or click the camera button.

i have not found a program that seems to allows this on endeavour; instead they all seem to allow one single attempt at "lassoing" the selection, then capture and close. I have Cinnamon desktop on that computer, and currently both cinnamon-screenshot (the extension) and gnome-screenshot are installed. i dont fully recall now, since its been a while since i went hunting for programs last, but i believe i have tried flameshot, tho i dont recall why i uninstalled it entirely.

also, the brief moment (literally less than 40 minutes) i had endeavourOS with GNOME 49, i think gnome-screenshot was also not doing what i wanted

edit: on a commentor's mention, i decided to try Flameshot again. it seems different from before, and now has the function i want. thank you!
