Wish: (re)Make a screenshot of already selected area again

My workflow:

1. I make a screenshot of an area via standard shortcut Shift+PrtScr.
2. After I select the area, first screenshot is made and "gnome-screenshot" dialog window is shown.
3. While this dialog is opened, you can still see the area you have selected highlighted / shadowed. (When you close this dialog , highlighting disappear.)

I wish I can say to Ubuntu:

Lets make screenshot of this the area again. I don't want to redefine area. I only want another screenshot of the same area.

Advantages:

• Same size of screenshots.
• Quicker workflow.

Am I missing something or is this feature missing?
