## What's New in v0.9.0-beta
### 🚀 Highlights
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **⌨️ Left/Right Modifier Keys** | Choose Left Ctrl vs Right Ctrl (etc.) as your shortcut trigger |
| **🔔 Sound Effects Toggle** | Enable or disable audio feedback from the Settings dialog |
| **📋 Wayland Clipboard Fallback** | Automatic clipboard copy when virtual keyboard injection isn't available |
| **🛠️ Installation Polish** | Better pipx/Debian guidance and headless display detection |
### ✨ New Features
- **Left/Right Modifier Key Distinction** — Shortcuts now support `Left Ctrl`, `Right Alt`, etc., with grouped UI in Settings
- **Sound Effects Toggle** — New Audio Settings toggle to silence start/stop/error sounds
- **Clipboard Fallback for Wayland** — Auto-copies text via `wl-copy`/`xclip` when injection unavailable (KDE Plasma etc.)
- **Display Availability Check** — Graceful error message when running in headless environments
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **#308**: Distinguish left vs right modifier keys (evdev + pynput backends)
- **#307**: Remove unwanted leading space when starting a new transcription session
- **#305**: Pass configured shortcut mode to `KeyboardShortcutManager` on startup
- **#299**: Add clipboard fallback for Wayland compositors without virtual keyboard support
- **#289**: Improve Debian/pipx installation error messages and cross-distro dependency guidance
### 🔧 Improvements
