          I'm not aware of any method that would allow you to select a region using just the keyboard.



          You can use the following method to get a screenshot via command line specifying a region. For example if you wanted to get a region that's 400x200 of the active window you could use this command:



          $ import -window "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)" -crop 400x200+0+0 
          +repage image1.png


                                  ss of terminal window
