What & why

This eliminates the need to fork screenshots to swappy.

Changes:

• Forced freeze screenshots to better fit other changes
• Resizable & movable selection rectangle
• Editing toolbar attached to selection rectangle
  • Regular pen drawing or pre-made shapes
  • Color selector
  • Undo, clear, copy to clipboard, cancel and save buttons
  • Shortcuts for copy and save; ctrl + c & ctrl + s respectively

Type

New feature

Tested

• Build succeeds
• Existing tests pass
• Manually verified

Breaking changes?

We will also need to change zshell-img-tools to not fork to swappy as well, since this is now handled before the image is sent to it. Currently QML will not send the screenshot to zshell-img-tools at all due to this.

Checklist

• CI passes (format, lint, typecheck)
• Clean commits
• No new warnings
• Docs updated if needed
