I didn't know how to word the subject! 
A certain project I work on involves taking lots of screenshots. I've configured Spectacle to work *exactly* the way I want, right down to assigning an additional key, [F1], to take screenshots. I have it auto-saving each screenshot in a specific directory; I can take shot after shot and not have to do anything, like name or save each shot. When I'm done, I go to its directory and do whatever I need to do with the screenshots.
The problem? I can't figure out how to keep Spectacle from popping up over the page I've just screenshotted. Let's say I'm on the first page of my project; I take a screenshot and Spectacle appears; I click somewhere to make it go away. I move on to the next page; I take a screenshot--and Spectacle MAY or MAY NOT pop up; it's maybe a 50/50 split. When it doesn't pop up, I can see it flash briefly in my taskbar--this is what I want all the time.
When I was using the System76 loaner, running Pop!_OS, not Kubuntu, its built-in screenshot program (not Spectacle) didn't do this. I could take a succession of shots and it would stay back, until I brought it up myself. I don't recall what it was called, just that it definitely was not Spectacle.
I've searched Spectacle's settings and tools but came up empty. I know there are many system settings, like when right-clicking on a title bar, under "More Actions," there's "Configure Special Application Settings..." Is there a setting somewhere, anywhere, that would keep Spectacle hidden except for the first use? I hope this makes sense.
