Description
Hi,
just moved to the new Mac Rust version 2.1.2, thanks for your great work. HEx is an awesome tool.
Problem: I set the dictation shortcut to right ctrl. But weirdly, as soon as I press left command and left option together, the green dictation pill appears, turns red, a error sound comes and it disappears again.

Research direction
Reproduce this on macOS with the dictation shortcut set to Right Control, then press Left Command and Left Option together. Inspect the keyboard shortcut/remapping and dictation activation paths to determine why that combination triggers the dictation pill. Done means the combination no longer activates dictation or produces an error, while the intended shortcut still works.
