Research direction

Start at the IME top bar and trace how it connects to NativeBridge.setSpeed and the shared settings file; the engine entry point is dasher_set_speed. Add an in-place −/+ speed control whose changes persist and remain synchronized with the main app while typing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

From Heide's v0.1.20 testing: "the letters still pop up too fast but I mean it's not unbearable" — she lives with it because the speed slider is buried in the main app's settings.

Add a small speed control (e.g. a − / + stepper in the top bar) so speed can be adjusted in place while typing. The engine already exposes dasher_set_speed; NativeBridge has setSpeed. Persisted via the shared settings file, so the main app stays in sync.
