Expected behaviour

I love the area selection mode of mate-screenshot, I use it extensively and made it the default behavior when pressing "print screen" key. I also added the --clipboard option by default as this is my main use case.

But there are situations where I'd like to save the file, so I'd like to get the save screen. I could set another shortcut for that, but the best behavior to me would be to being able to press an extra key (eg. ctrl) while in the area selection process and if it is pressed, it disables the --clipboard option.

I'm aware this might be tricky, as the screenshot utility doesn't have to do with the keyboard, but it could be nice to have this possibility. Like send a signal to the process or something?

Actual behaviour

The --clipboard option is set on execution time, and cannot be edited in area-selection time.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

None
