Resize Capture Area - Accessibility

Description

I would like to second the request "Resize selected area... - ID: 3556785".

Sometimes when I do a capture, I don't quite get the area I want, though I am close. It would be great if I could use arrow keys to refine the selected area to get a more precise capture. Irfanview has something like this.

I'd also like to suggest that if and when you add this type of feature, you design it in a way so that it can be used pretty easily by people like my daughter who have limited hand/finger movement (she has cerebral palsy). I'm not exactly sure how to make a feature like this usable for someone with limited movement using a keyboard, but I'd be happy to work with you to help figure out how it could be made to work well for people with motion disabilities. Certainly using arrow keys to refine the selection area would be a key part of making this work for people with motion disabilities, so this aspect of the request could behave the same for people with and without disabilities.

FYI: not resizable yet, but the new release candidate for version 1.2 is the first to offer capture region selection using keystrokes, making Greenshot much more accessible. Reade more in our blog post: http://getgreenshot.org/2014/09/18/release-candidate-for-greenshot-1-2-available/

refining caputred region is something i also would like to see implemented. check out LightShot app - i don't like it, but their capturing region feature is much better than greenshot's one.
