 Features:
 * Added the possibility to select the region to capture by using the keyboard, use the cursor keys to move the cursor (ctrl-key speeds up the movement) and the enter key to mark the start and ending.
 * FEATURE-757: Greenshot will now store the last used region in the greenshot.ini, which makes it also available after a restart.
