Some shortcut key to take a snapshot of any area of the blender GUI

would be great for helping people, to not have to start gimp/photoshop to just explain something quickly.

Is <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>F3</kbd> not sufficient? You can also find it in Window→Save Screenshot. Granted, it pulls the whole Blender window, but with Grease Paint for additional annotation, that should do the job reasonably well, no?

Most 3rd party screenshot apps have a "Rectangle selection" functionality. If you're on Linux, it's most likely already in your computer, if you're on Windows, it's there already . I don't see the point in adding that in Blender itself.

@peter.boos: share X in windows perform really well in that matter (img, gif or video capture easy) : getsharex.com/
