Musa Mahmood 7f8bcdd1ad [0.1.1] Screen capture: PrintScreen freezes the screens, a dragged region goes to the clipboard and the library
- capture_region, a new [global_hotkeys] action, on PrintScreen by default (Windows only; none on
  macOS). Existing settings files get the line appended on the next launch. When the key cannot be
  registered, the log names Snagit and Windows' "Print screen opens screen capture" setting.
- app/screen_capture_win32.jai: every screen copied the moment the key fires (BitBlt with
  CAPTUREBLT over the virtual desktop), shown darkened in a topmost GDI window in a modal loop of its
  own, so it works with mcap hidden in the tray. Dragging shows the region bright and outlined; a
  magnifier shows the pixels under the cursor with its position or the selection's size; arrow keys
  move a pixel (ten with Shift). A click or Enter takes the whole screen under the cursor; Escape,
  a right click or losing the focus cancels. Only the parts that change are redrawn.
- app/screen_capture.jai: the region goes on the clipboard (CF_DIB) at once, then a thread writes it
  into the library's "Screen Captures" folder as a PNG .mcap: metadata.json with the window under
  the region's middle (its title as WindowName, its program's description as AppName) and
  capture.json (where on the desktop, the program's path, the hash). mcap then comes to the front
  showing it, and OCR, labels and segmentation read it as they read an import.
- A "screen capture" group in the import tests: the file written, its pixels, preview and Capture
  Text read back. README and the format's README describe it.

[global_hotkeys]
# Registered with the system, so they work from any application, even while the app is hidden in the tray.
# The format is that of [hotkeys], including "none" to turn an action off; keys are letters,
# digits, Space, F1-F24, Enter, Tab, Escape, the arrows, PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, Insert,
# Delete and PrintScreen. For example: Ctrl-Alt-Space bring_to_foreground
# Changes apply as soon as the file is saved.
none bring_to_foreground
# Freezes every screen to drag a region over and capture it, into the clipboard and the library.
# PrintScreen is Snagit's key too: only one program can have it, so quit Snagit or choose another
# key, such as Ctrl-Shift-S. Windows takes it as well while Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard >
# "Use the Print screen key to open screen capture" is on.
