This allows to adjust the cursor position with the arrow keys when capturing an area.
It uses QCursor to set the mouse cursor position when the arrow keys are pressed (setPos). With this it is not possible to move beyond screen boundaries (at least on X11 - see below).
I've added a notice to the
SnippingAreaSelectorInfoTextclass so users are aware of the feature. Let me know if I need to do something so the translation system works correctly.I've also added this new feature to the two changelog files - inspired by the previous commits.
Important
I've only tested this on my personal machine running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (X11) with Qt 5.15.2. I don't know how the Qt Mouse positioning function handles other window managers.
I am trying rn to build with Qt6 and then build the AppImage so I can test in a vm with different window managers.
All the existing tests pass - as expected.
Here is a small demo video:
