Printscreen part of screen

[AgentKoos]

I found Pulover over the weekend and my mind is blown. All the feautures that I needed and way more.
One problem. I can't for the life of me figure out how to take a screenshot of a part of the screen. At the moment I use the recording function. Everything is recorded except the keyboard combos for screencapture.

I tried cntr+PrintScr for shareX
I tried Windows+shift+s for the Windows Snipping tool.
I can't figure out to use the built in feature from Pulover.

When I recorded everything and playback everything works upto the screen capture bit.

So basically what I need to do is screen capture a part of the screen and then paste it into a word doc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
