I want to record part of my screen with wf-recorder. That is possible with slurp, however it's hard to perform actions within the selection if I don't have a constant indication of the recorded area, as slurp quits after selection.

example:

Good idea, but I think this should be done by the wf-recorder tool instead. My understanding of soup is, that it solves the task of finding some area/points. Indicating the area of recording doesn't quite fit in this task I think.
