I know this doesn't solve your immediate problem when using GNOME, but if you are desktop curious, KDE natively offers sharing a portion of the screen or even creating a whole new virtual monitor with its own resolution, wallpaper etc that you can share.

So my typical workflow is to have it create a 1080p virtual monitor above my real monitors, and share that, since sharing a full 4k monitor makes it hard for people to read. Then I can show whatever I want on that monitor without worrying about exposing something from my main monitors.

But usually it means something is about to go terribly wrong.

Like, a stroke?

Same. I keep my car and house keys separate so I can leave my house keys in the car and just carry the car key in my pocket. My house keys are just the remote and key to get into my house, nothing else.

My wife has all the other keys in her handbag, including all the spare keys because she can't find the main set in bag, so she takes the spares as well. Sometimes she also takes mine because she can't find the main set or the spare set in her bag (or wherever she placed them).

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

I like turtles 🐢

There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key but I've had some hit and miss success in actually getting it to work.

Normally I first try see if it is only the graphical interface that has crashed by pushing ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 or F3 to try and switch to another terminal. If I can switch, I log in and reboot or restart the window manager.

I also try SSH into the machine if I have another of around.

If I do reboot, then I use 'journalctl -b-1 -e' to see what happened at the time the system froze.
