I think this is highly dependent on your distro (and comfort with the CLI but I'm taking that for granted on HN) but I found the gnome screenshot to be very simple, quick, and effective. Piping a hotkey to a CLI command is presumably easy, and after 5s of googling I found the guide below for Gnome. Not exactly fancy and I haven't used this specific tool recently enough to say whether it meets all your requirements exactly (e.g. you might need to press "Enter" once to close a popup), but I think a solution like this might fit the Linux ethos best!

Thanks, will check it out, my main problem with gnome-* is the package pulling in gnome deps into my "minimal" lxqt environment.
