Description

like gimp and many other tools flameshot should support the shift modifier to limit rectangles and ovals to squares and circles and the control modifyers to start the rectangle/square and the oval/circle from the center instead of the edges.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the rectangle and oval tool classes to handle shift and control key events during mouse interactions. Implement shape constraints (square/circle) when shift is pressed, and start from center when control is pressed, similar to GIMP's selection tools.
