Windows has this builtin capability to make freeform screenshots via Windows-Shift-S. The image illustrates what I mean by freeform: Draw a polygon on screen and only capture that.

As far as I know, nothing on Linux provides this capability. Shutter is generally considered the most advanced screenshot app but it can only do “rectangular” areas.

Maybe I missed some app though?

    Workaround: rectangular screenshot, paste to gimp (or similar), freeform select the copy, paste where you want.
