Summary

This PR adds several new features and fixes to enhance ScreenCapture:

New Features

  • Window capture (Cmd+Shift+6) - Select and capture individual windows
  • Window capture with shadow (Cmd+Shift+7) - Capture windows including macOS shadow
  • Blur tool (B key or 5) - Brush-based blur annotation with adjustable intensity
  • Screenshot sound - Plays the macOS screenshot sound on successful capture
  • Drag & drop with file URL - Now works with terminal apps (not just image data)
  • RecentCapturesGallery - New sidebar component for recent captures

Bug Fixes

  • Region capture quality - Fixed pixel-perfect captures using CGImage cropping instead of sourceRect scaling
  • Selection overlay first click - Fixed first click not registering (was absorbed as focus event)
  • DisplaySelector race condition - Fixed menuDidClose firing before displaySelected
  • WindowCaptureService filter - Changed windowLayer <= 0 to windowLayer < 0 to include normal windows
  • Default shortcuts conflict - Changed from Cmd+Shift+3/4 to Cmd+Ctrl+3/4 to avoid macOS conflict

Improvements

  • Blur tool UI - Intensity slider (5-30) in floating style panel, color picker hidden for blur
  • Settings UI - Modernized with tabs (General, Shortcuts, About)
  • All 4 shortcuts configurable - Full screen, selection, window, window+shadow
  • Menu width - Set minimum 250px for better readability
  • Sandbox disabled - Required for Carbon global hotkeys (RegisterEventHotKey)

Test Plan

  • Cmd+Ctrl+3 captures full screen with display selector
  • Cmd+Ctrl+4 captures selection region (first click works)
  • Cmd+Shift+6 captures selected window
  • Cmd+Shift+7 captures window with shadow
  • Region capture quality matches window capture quality
  • Blur tool works with B key or 5
  • Blur intensity slider adjusts blur strength
  • Blur exports correctly to PNG/JPEG and clipboard
  • Screenshot sound plays on capture
  • Drag & drop works with Terminal/iTerm
  • Settings shows all 4 shortcuts
