- pick the Rectangle selection tool
- in the tool settings, check "fixed" and select "Aspect ratio" in the dropdown menu (or whichever you need)
- input your values in the field just below
- make your selection in the canvas
- if you want to move your rectangle vertically or horizontally, you can pick the Move tool, switch to "Selection" mode in its tool settings, then use Ctrl while dragging the rectangle to constrain the movement along an axis
- Once your rectangle fits your desired crop, go to Image > Fit canvas to selection. This will preserve all the pixels outside the canvas.
Not sure if you noticed the dates of my posts? I asked about this feature 1 day before it was announced, and then cheered when they announced that it would be available in 2.10.20.
There are still a few quirks/bugs associated with it, but it's so much better than it was.
Most notably, if you use the clone/heal tools near the edges, it will sample from the hidden canvas. There should be a option/modifier that prevents this, and samples as if the hidden parts of the image were not there.
