* feat(shortcuts): add customizable keyboard shortcuts via GUI
Implement configurable keyboard shortcuts for toggling voice recognition,
allowing users to choose between Ctrl+Ctrl, Alt+Alt, Shift+Shift, or
Super+Super (Windows key) double-tap shortcuts.
Changes:
- Add shortcuts configuration section to settings dialog with dropdown
- Update keyboard backends (pynput and evdev) to support configurable
modifier keys for double-tap detection
- Add SUPPORTED_SHORTCUTS, SHORTCUT_DISPLAY_NAMES constants in base module
- Update KeyboardShortcutManager to accept and pass shortcut configuration
- TrayIndicator now reads shortcut from config on startup
- Add comprehensive tests for shortcut configuration and parsing
The default shortcut remains Ctrl+Ctrl for backward compatibility.
Changes take effect after app restart (noted in UI).
Closes#16
* feat(shortcuts): enable live shortcut switching without app restart
Add restart_with_shortcut() method to KeyboardShortcutManager that stops
the listener, updates the shortcut configuration, and restarts with the
new shortcut. The settings dialog now applies shortcut changes immediately
with visual feedback indicating success.
- Add restart_with_shortcut() to KeyboardShortcutManager
- Add update_shortcut() to TrayIndicator for exposing live updates
- Update SettingsDialog to use callback for immediate shortcut changes
- Show green success message when live switching succeeds
- Add 7 new tests for restart_with_shortcut functionality
* fix: use Python 3.8 compatible context manager syntax
Convert parenthesized context manager (Python 3.10+) to nested with
statements for Python 3.8 compatibility in test_keyboard_shortcuts.py
* feat: add Wayland support for keyboard shortcuts using evdev backend
This commit adds multi-backend support for keyboard shortcuts, enabling
them to work on Wayland sessions where pynput does not work.
**Changes:**
- New `keyboard_backends/` package with modular backend system
- `base.py`: Abstract base class for keyboard backends
- `pynput_backend.py`: Existing pynput implementation (X11/XWayland)
- `evdev_backend.py`: New evdev implementation (X11 & Wayland)
- `__init__.py`: Backend factory with auto-detection
- Updated `keyboard_shortcuts.py`:
- Refactored to use backend system
- Auto-detects session type (X11 vs Wayland)
- Selects appropriate backend automatically
- Provides helpful error messages when shortcuts unavailable
- Added `evdev>=1.6.0` to dependencies (Linux only)
- Comprehensive test updates:
- 21 tests pass covering all backends
- Tests for session detection
- Tests for backend factory
- Tests for permission hints
**User Impact:**
- Keyboard shortcuts now work on Wayland when user is in 'input' group
- Clear error messages guide users to fix permission issues
- Backward compatible with X11 (pynput backend)
**Setup for Wayland:**
```bash
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER
# Log out and log back in
```

* feat: auto-configure Wayland keyboard shortcuts during installation
Automatically detect Wayland sessions during installation and add the user
to the 'input' group required for evdev-based keyboard shortcuts.
This eliminates the need for users to manually configure permissions
after installation on Wayland systems.
* fix: escape commit message in Detect Changes step to handle special characters
The commit message was being directly inserted into the bash comparison,
which broke when the message contained special characters like parentheses.
Fix by assigning to a variable first.

* feat: show VAD and silence timeout settings for Whisper engine
- Renamed 'VOSK Settings' to 'Recognition Settings'
- VAD Sensitivity and Silence Timeout now apply to both engines
- Added tooltips explaining each setting
- VOSK-specific model info only shown when VOSK selected
* fix: resolve overlapping UI elements in settings dialog
* fix: save VAD and silence timeout settings for both engines
Previously these settings were only saved when VOSK was selected.
Now they persist correctly for Whisper as well.
* fix: show download progress when selecting undownloaded model
Previously when auto-applying settings, models would download silently
in the background without showing the progress dialog. Now:
- Download progress dialog appears for undownloaded models
- Model icons update correctly after download completes
* feat: add download progress, speed, ETA and cancel button
- Show real download progress percentage for VOSK models
- Display download speed (MB/s) and estimated time remaining
- Add Cancel button to abort downloads
- Update status during extraction phase
- Whisper downloads still pulse (uses internal downloader)
* fix: defer model download until needed, don't block startup
- App now starts instantly even if models aren't downloaded
- Models are downloaded on-demand when selected in Settings
- If user tries to dictate without a model, plays error sound
- Added model_ready property to check if engine is usable
* fix: improve first-run UX without downloaded models
- Settings dialog now defaults to smallest available model, not saved config
- Only show saved model if it's actually downloaded
- Add desktop notification when trying to dictate without a model
- Prevents auto-downloading large models on first launch
* feat: add download progress tracking for Whisper models
- Implement custom Whisper model download with progress/speed/ETA
- Uses OpenAI's CDN URLs directly instead of whisper.load_model()
- Progress callback works the same as VOSK downloads
- Supports cancellation during download
* fix: enable download progress callback for Whisper models
Progress callback was only being set for VOSK downloads, not Whisper.
Now both engines show real-time progress, speed, and ETA.
* fix: update tests for defer_download and config manager mocking
- test_main: Mock ConfigManager to prevent saved config from overriding test values
- test_settings_dialog: Mock ModelDownloadDialog to prevent GTK init errors
- test_speech_recognition: Use proper MockVoskModule class instead of MagicMock, pass defer_download=False for download test
- test_whisper_support: Pass defer_download=False to trigger model loading in test
* fix: resolve test failures for CI
- test_main: Fix ConfigManager patch path to use source module
- test_settings_dialog: Mock _is_vosk_model_downloaded and _is_whisper_model_downloaded to skip download flow, add missing dialog attributes
- test_speech_recognition: Replace recognizer with properly configured mock that returns valid JSON, fixing test isolation issues when running all tests together
* fix: mock _download_whisper_model in whisper test to avoid requests exception handling issue
* fix: add gir1.2-girepository-2.0 dep for PyGObject on Ubuntu 24.04
- Add missing girepository-2.0 package for newer Ubuntu runners
- Use --no-build-isolation for PyGObject to use system packages
* fix: skip PyGObject pip install, use system python3-gi package
