Cannot take fullscreen screenshot (maim) while dmenu is active #1377

`{ ShiftMask,   XK_Print, spawn, SHCMD("maim pic-full-$(date '+%y%m%d-%H%M-%S').png") },`

Weird bug, since maim does not use dmenu. Anyway, before looking into the code, I suggest someone confirming this is a bug of this configuration, because it may be closed and create an issue at maim and dmenu repo

Closing this in favor of https://github.com/naelstrof/maim/issues/287 because I doubt the problem is this configuration's

This seems to be a general problem, when some application is blocking user input. I had this issue with the xclickroot which is used to bring up the xmenu program.

I wondering if it might be a good idea to have a delayed screenshot feature in maimpick? for something like this sleep 5 && maim pic-full-$(date '+%y%m%d-%H%M-%S').png or would be better to have it as a separate keybind?
