Description
HEX version
2.1.16 installed from DMG
Platform
macOS
System details
M3 Pro 18GB running Tahoe 26.6.2
What happened?
In the old Hex app I used single tap shortcut mode where I could press the shortcut once, let go, do my dictation and then press again to stop and transcribe. I found this far more handy than pressing and holding the whole time or having to do a double tap. This option seems to be missing from the settings page of the Rust rewrite, please can you add it back because until then I'm going to have to switch back to the old version.
Steps to reproduce
Install, go to the settings page, observe the only options being double tap to lock and double tap only - when I'm looking for a single tap to lock option.

Research direction
Start at the settings page and trace the existing double-tap shortcut options into the Rust rewrite's shortcut handling. Add single-tap to lock as a selectable mode while preserving the existing options, then verify that one press starts dictation and a second press stops and transcribes on macOS.
