Can Spectacle always stay open in the background? (no dock icon)

There’s a delay for spectacle to open before taking screenshots with hotkeys set. When its not open I don’t see it when I search “spectacle” in System Monitor.

you can configure shortcuts to just open spectacle without taking a screen shot

and then uncheck the quit after manual save box in the main window

then unless you close the spectacle window, it remains open, and if you do accidentally close it, you can easily reopen it without taking another screen shot.
