Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
In Raycast there is feature called "Quick Fix", that automatically selects the text, fixes the spelling and Grammer and paste it in one hotkey setting. They even allow to set double taps of any of the modifiers like ctrl.
Scenario when this would be used?
This allows to avoid selecting, copying and Advanced Pasting and also keeps the clipboard history clean. In Raycast, when the action is triggered, no windows or popups opens, it just displays a busy indicator toast.
This feature significantly improves the workflow.
When we select a text in the editable controls it sends it for action, if no text is selected it selects the complete texts.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Advanced Paste behavior and how its hotkey interacts with selected text, editable controls, and clipboard history. Done would mean a configurable Quick Fix action that handles selected or complete text, fixes spelling and grammar, and provides a busy indicator without opening a window or popup.
