(SOLVED) Assigning a key

I assigned a keyboard shortcut to this command. I would like to be able to assign the shortcut to the select area to grab option. If I remember I think it is a variation on the code below. Actually I would like to assign a separate shortcut to each of the three options.

gnome-screenshot --interactive

For "Grab the current window" you have to assign another key, like <keybind key="A-Print"> which is Alt+Print screen. "Select area to grab" - Not possible. The computer and keyboard don't know what area you are looking at on the screen.

I found the answer from a previous post over two years ago that I made.

gnome-screenshot --area

Works great!!
