Description

Feature Description

When you have a current selection, you can press a button to remove that selection and be prompted to select a part of the screen again.

I looked through the keyboard shortcuts here and couldn't figure out if this feature exists already

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the existing keyboard shortcut definitions in the Flameshot codebase (likely in a file handling key bindings) and add a new shortcut to deselect the current region. Look for how the cancel selection action is implemented and bind it.
