Description
## Feature Request
### Summary
When using voice mode (push-to-talk with spacebar), automatically submit the transcribed text when the spacebar is released — without requiring a separate Enter key press.
### Current behavior
- Hold Space → records audio
- Release Space → transcription appears in input box
- User must press Enter manually to submit
### Desired behavior
- Hold Space → records audio
- Release Space → transcription appears **and is automatically submitted**
### Why
This would make the voice workflow fully hands-free. Currently the required Enter press breaks the flow, especially when the hands are away from the keyboard during dictation.
### Suggested implementation
Add a setting (e.g. \oice.autoSubmitOnRelease: true\) that sends Enter immediately after transcription is inserted on spacebar release.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the voice-mode spacebar release handler, the transcription insertion flow, and the configuration path for a possible auto-submit setting. Done means released push-to-talk audio inserts its transcription and submits it automatically, while the setting controls that behavior.
