add a new shortcut to always take screenshots after a delay
something like <CTRL> + <ALT> + <PrtScn> may be
it would use a new configuration parameter: a delay specific to this function, that would be set once and for all the next delayed screenshots.
Improvement: avoids tedious manipulation of the UI:
opening settings
“Capture” tab
setting a delay
taking some screeshots
opening settings
“Capture” tab
going back to no delay
taking some immediate screenshots
opening settings
“Capture” tab
setting a delay
…
May be: the current delay, called “Milliseconds to wait before capture”, could be removed, replaced by the new one described above. Or not. Not sure about this option.
Nice, that seems so much better than what I could think of !

IMHO it would be even better to have a new entry “capture <always / once> after delay of XX seconds” in tray icon context menu directly below current capture entries. That new entry allows 1) to set seconds to wait by rotating mouse wheel over a number field and 2) a checkbox similar to “capture mousepointer” and when toggled, also the menu entry words always/once toggle. Rationale: It’s also much quicker than current menu but allows all capture modes (window/region/…), while for the new shortcut, we can anticipate a discussion which capture mode it shall have.
Trivial
Problem: configuring the delay is not easy/quick.
