Description

A lightweight selection tool often used by screenshot scripts. It lets a script ask the user to select an area on screen, then returns the chosen geometry so another tool can capture or process that region.

Install it if your screenshot workflow or custom script needs interactive area selection. Screen captures can include private content, so check what is visible before sharing the result.
