Unified capture-crop-annotate overlay for screenshotEdit: dimmed screen, resizable crop, pen/line/rect/circle/arrow/text/highlight/blur/counter, per-object color/stroke, undo/redo, duplicate and delete (toolbar + Del). Multi-monitor: one interactive output, stable drag (no focus thrash). Export crops via ShaderEffectSource. Ctrl+S/Done save to disk; Ctrl+C/copy button clipboard only; Esc discards.
Saves the annotation editor custom colors, last picked color, and last stroke width across sessions.
Mod+Shift+S opens the annotation editor instead of an instant copy. Migration 031 rebinds niri users and skips customized binds.
