Description

### Pre-flight checklist

- [x] I searched [existing issues](https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and this is not a duplicate.
- [x] I am on the [latest release](https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi/releases/latest) or a recent `master` build.
- [x] I quit **Logi Options+** before running OpenLogi (the two apps fight over HID++ access and only one can own a receiver at a time).

### Which part of OpenLogi?

Not sure

### OpenLogi version

0.6.26

### Operating system

macOS

### OS version & architecture

macOS 26.5.2

### Device model

MX Master 4 + Bolt Receiver

### How is the device connected?

Logi Bolt receiver

### Affected area(s)

- [ ] Device discovery / detection
- [x] Button remapping
- [ ] DPI control
- [ ] SmartShift
- [ ] Per-application profiles
- [ ] Battery status
- [x] Settings / configuration (TOML)
- [ ] Auto-update
- [ ] Menu bar / tray
- [ ] Other

### What happened?

I can't bind any keyboard shortcuts to any mouse button. The option is just not there. Even for bluetooth option of this mouse.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open mouse configuration
2. See no option when trying to change assign key

Research direction

Start with the mouse configuration and button-remapping UI, then trace how keyboard shortcuts are represented in the TOML settings. Reproduce the issue on macOS with the MX Master 4 and compare the available assignment options for Bluetooth and Bolt connections. Done means a keyboard shortcut can be selected and saved for a mouse button, with the behavior verified after restarting the app.
