mate-keybinding-properties missing hotkeys option for selected area screenshots

Hi, I'd like to make a request about this, mate-screenshot already has the function: the shortcut is shift + printscreen but you can't change its shortcut in the program and its command in the terminal is also missing

it's really something minor but it's a nice addition, I only just today realized that mate-screenshot had this feature, just because no indication is made in the shortcut software.

thanks for your time reading.

Actually, an option to mate-screenshot for such a purpose already exists, although it's not called what you might expect it to be called. The --area option lets you drag your mouse across an arbitrary area of the screen, then the MATE Screenshot tool will take a screenshot of that area and that area only.

For the time being, you could add a custom shortcut to the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences:
