I mean, can Xfce4-screenshooter take a screenshot at load time and then offer further options afterwards?  It is hard to time things correctly when things on the screen are moving, also it closes context and drop-down menus when it opens - Which reduces it's use cases somewhat :/

I tried it and found that yes, it can indeed take an immediate
screenshot if we use the command line. For example, if I bind
"xfce4-screenshooter -w -d 0 -c" to PrtSc then pressing PrtSc will
take a screenshot immediately and puts it in the clipboard.

However, I’ve also found the bound key doesn’t always work, for
example when the XFCE menu is open. Maybe someone else will have a
better idea.
