[Feature Request] Screenshot the currently active screen when using --interactive. #58

My screens are are like this, 1 is my laptop, 0 is my external monitor.

Running cosmic-screenshot --interactive=false --save-dir=~/Pictures screenshots the laptop screen, rather than the currently active screen.

I think in order to do non-interactive things, especially that are triggered by keyboard shortcuts, screenshotting the active screen makes sense.

There might be cases where being able to specify the screen to screenshot makes sense.

I'd suggest that always screenshotting one screen and not being able to control it isn't ideal.

It would be better to have a --display flag to pass the appropriate number to capture the desired screen.

I found now I am getting the same as you, it screenshots both screens at the same time. I recently switched from lightdm greeter to cosmic greeter. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Having something like --display=[active|0|1...] would work.
