Once the area selection mode is enabled, it should allow the user to simply single click on an window. In this case, the extension could detect that no useful area was selected (due to a rapid single click) and simply resort to taking a screenshot of the window which was clicked on.

Note that if the extension intercepts the click, it would be nice if it could first "re-play" the click in the event that they click on a window that's partially behind another window, so that it comes into focus for a proper screenshot (unless the gnome-shell API's somehow let you capture what's behind another window?).
