[Feature Request] Shortcut to grab screen area to clipboard

Excellent app, but I would like to suggest making a shortcut to grab text from screen area, just like windows Powertoys' Text Grabber. So when I press the shortcut keys the pointer changes to crosshair and then I can select screen area and on finishing the drag the text should get copied to the clipboard. Its very handy and practical that way

Great extension. I'd love it if we can get shortcuts to work. I also think that you should directly show the "Where can I find the Image" at the startup itself. This can save having to go for an additional click (clicking on Snatch Now, which only takes us to the options I just mentioned) and makes it easier for users to quickly get to where they want. Also it would be good to temporarily hide the TextSnatcher window while taking screenshots.
