On macOS, we can press the combination of cmd + shift + 4 keys to start capturing a screenshot.
Even though we can move the mouse to resize the captured area, the top left corner is fixed. Sometime it's not convenient if we want to adjust the top left corner.
In that case, rather than pressing the escape key and try again, you can hit and hold the space key. Moving your mouse will also move the screenshot area.
