Provide a "Fixed Region" screenshot mode, with its own hotkey

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Provide a "Fixed Region" screenshot mode, with its own hotkey.
(This should not be a part of crop shot, but a separate mode)

Let the user define a region (height, width). 
When he uses the hotkey for the "Fixed Region" capture mode, ZScreen turns the 
mouse cursor to a rectangle. The user simply positions this rectangle and 
clicks just once to complete the capture.

(The newly introduced "Nudge with arrow keys" facility will be helpful in 
positioning the rectangle precisely.)

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

This mode of capture has two main uses:
1. Capture icons of an application (e.g. to make a manual/wiki). Typically this 
size would be 16x16, 32x32 or 48x48.

2. Capture slides from a ppt handout (which is typically a pdf). After that, 
insert those slides in a file and add your own notes. This is extremely useful 
for students. 

The region size varies from handout to handout, but is constant in a given 
handout. Thus the "Fixed region" mode of capture will be extremely useful.

This can be also achieved by the grid mode (e.g. to capture lot of 16x16 icons, 
we can set the grid to 16 px.) But the problem is, both points of the captured 
region have to be selected for each icon. The proposed "Fixed region" capture 
mode will simplify this task tremendously.
