SUMMARY
I'd like to be able to open Spectacle from the command line straight into its
editing mode in fullscreen, without having to manually go into the edit mode
and maximizing Spectacle.
There does not seem to be any command line argument to achieve this at the
moment.

My current workaround is to take a screenshot with Spectacle in the background
and then open that created file in an editor (eg. "spectacle -a -b -n -o
bla.png && krita --nosplash bla.png"). This command I have laid on a shortcut
so I can trigger it easily on a single button press and can get right into
annotation.
While this works, Krita is certainly overkill for quick screenshot annotation.
You can get closer to the desired result with this: "spectacle -a -b -n -o
bla.png && spectacle -E bla.png", however this will open Spectacle in some
default size and not maximized.

Something like this would be nice "spectacle -a --maximized --edit_mode".  
Or maybe instead of "--edit_mode" allow the "-E" argument to not load an
existing file, instead using whatever screenshot was taken by the other
arguments.
