[FEATURE REQUEST] shortcut to select scan area

[Monadelass]

Using a keypress/shortcut to dynamically resize or rather redefine the scanning area to a selected area with the option to immediately scan the area every time it is used.
Practical example:
holding ctrl+alt allows the cursor to draw a box (like holding LMB). After letting go of ctrl+alt the selected area is automatically scanned for text and captions for translation added.

Advantages of having this:
-smaller scan area gives better performance
-easier to ignore areas that shouldn't be scanned
-more control over what is interpreted (ocr might interpret some text horizontal even though its written vertically)
-... and sent to external services like google lens

Exactly, I support this. It would be great. Sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds or more for the Lens to scan a full screen while playing a game which makes it quite slow and annoying. Using the templates to limit it to a single area (like for the dialogue area) makes it significantly faster (3 seconds).
But then one needs to create another template for other windows that show up only at times, which can be annoying, especially when there is no option to use hotkeys to switch between templates (which is another useful thing that could be added).
Making the scan window more easily resizable and modifiable on the get go would really help imo.
What could be done is to make it so that you simply draw which part of the screen you want to scan through a hotkey (like with Printscreen's snipping tool ability, I remember Manga OCR program having it like that). By being able to simply draw and choose just a particular portion of the screen that would be scanned at one time would make it much faster and easier to use.
