[suggestion] initialize screen with screenshot

[martinetd]

Hi! noticed this as a recent addition to awesome-reMarkable.

This is just an open suggestion as I've also myself forked pipes-and-paper years ago.
My take on "erase" was to take a new screenshot to refresh the screen after eraser was lifted up, effectively acting as an eraser. the screenshot mechanism itself is quite horrible and dependent on another project, but I found taking screenshots to be useful to stream an existing presentation/book and annotate over it, instead of just scribbling on a blank canevas.

For reference: https://github.com/martinetd/pipes-and-paper

feel free to close this immediately if the idea isn't tempting -- I might switch over if you do it better than me, which might not be difficult :) But have no use for the project right now, so won't spend time trying to rebase on top of your improvements.

I had the same idea/need to manually transfer a screenshot if needed :-)
A few weeks ago I took/refactored code from somewhere and I'm able to get the screen contents. Then I didn't know how to do it upon keypress and other things got in the way :-)

It's actually a very good idea to solve incomplete features support (zoom, rotation, existing sketch, I cannot list them all here, it freaks me out the work to be done ^^ ) and will be very practical.

If no better suggestions, I will put a "sync button/shortcut" which will trigger the screen "sync".
I find myself having little time to work on this personal project, so it will be great as a full support of all remarkable workflows is way down the road.

@RedTartan04 Do you have the work you have done somewhere on your repo, I could not find it?!

Looks fun to implement, but I will do it only for rm2

Hi, sorry, I had zero time to further work on it since January :-(
In the mean time I've forgotten what I did then :) but I just pushed the feature branch to my fork. Don't know if it's any use though.
