Add secondary transcription shortcut and language

Please confirm you have done the following:

If this is a feature or change that was previously closed/rejected:

  • I have explained in the description below why this should be reconsidered
  • I have gathered community feedback (link to discussion below)

Human Written Description

I wanted Handy to support two different transcription languages depending on which shortcut is pressed. The current behavior only allows one shortcut and one language, which makes switching between languages unnecessarily slow for multilingual use. This change adds a second shortcut and a second language setting, while keeping the existing primary flow intact and making the shortcut/model behavior more consistent.

Testing

  • Ran cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml
  • Ran bun run build
  • Ran bun run check:translations
  • Verified that the secondary shortcut can use a separate language
  • Verified that the secondary shortcut is unbound by default
  • Verified that resetting the secondary shortcut clears it back to no shortcut
  • Verified that model-dependent language settings are disabled while a model switch is in progress

Screenshots/Videos (if applicable)

New features are not being accepted at this time. Especially shortcuts. This was mentioned when you opened the PR and you did not address why I should not close this.
