Adjust the selection area before taking a screenshot #281

Hi,

The current behavior of maim takes a snapshot as soon as the mouse left button is released. So the user has only one opportunity to correctly select the area for a screenshot.

Is it possible to adjust the selection area after the mouse left button is released, but before the screenshot is taken. It is very convenient to draw first an approximated selection area, then adjust it from the top/bottom/left/right and only then take a snapshot.

Thank you for a very useful tool!

The initial selection area can be adjusted, see this comment: https://github.com/naelstrof/maim/issues/282#issuecomment-1605533236

Pressing the Space key while holding the mouse left button during the selection to move the selection is quite handy! Thank you!
