Description

We need to implement a way to disable the app from listening to the keyboard, for example, in the case where you have the app running, but want to write something in a word document which you do not want to translate. As of now, the app will record the keystrokes and place it into the input field.

Do we want to switch this over to typing a command to then type into the GUI? Plan is not that what someone is writing will go into the GUI at all times, so maybe we can simulate it and set up hotkeys for translate, plural and conjugate?

Me and Ryan were thinking of a button that you can toggle, or a keystroke (like ctrl + l maybe?)

That sounds great :) Let's have it be triggered by clicking the Scribe icon for now and we can then transition to it being first click Scribe icon for options then click option then type in the GUI :) For now just click the icon and a keystroke though I think would suffice? Or should we do the full user flow?

I like the idea of clicking the Scribe icon and having that as our state control for listening on or off :)
