swaygrab: support region selection

Created on 21 Oct 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: swaywm/sway

swaygrab is working nicely but it would be nice to be able to select a window or a region with the mouse instead of taking the full screen for producing the screenshot (like maim/slop)

Adding a parameter for the coordinates is already enough, then we can leave the rest of the work for slop.

swaygrab is deprecated, through the combination of grim and slurp on sway 1.0 you can achive this functionality.

@SirCmpwn
If it's removed from the git and deprecated then maybe can you please update the wiki?

Thanks in advance! :)

The wiki shouldn't be updated until 1.0 is released. The content is still relevant for sway 0.15 which is the latest release.
