[Feature Request & Bug] Audio re-transcription retry options, Dictate UI auto-close/layout preference, and AI prompt support on arbitrary text selection

[Batmancpu]

Summary:-
A combined feature request and bug report regarding voice transcription retries, layout switching options, and AI prompt processing on pre-selected text.

1. Feature Request: Re-transcribe / Resend Audio File

• Problem: If audio transcription fails due to network interruption, manual cancellation, or server errors, there is no option to re-send the recorded audio file.
• Proposed Solution: Re-introduce the option (previously available in v5.xx) to resend the cached audio file for re-transcription without forcing the user to re-record their voice.

2. Feature Request: Resend Button in Voice Engine Mode

• Problem: Activating voice input via the keyboard voice button using the minimal Voice Engine view lacks controls to retry when a transcription fails.
• Proposed Solution: Add a dedicated "Resend" button directly in the Voice Engine interface so users can retry sending a failed transcription without having to speak again.

3. Feature Request: Dictate Classic Layout Option & Auto-Close Behavior

• Problem: Triggering voice input via the keyboard voice button opens the minimal Voice Engine view, which hides the Dictate Classic Layout. This prevents access to custom AI prompts, text reverting options, and fine-grained controls during mid-transcription.
• Proposed Solution:
  1. Add a setting option allowing users to replace the minimalist layout with the Dictate Classic Layout by default when pressing the voice button.
  2. Pressing the keyboard voice button should automatically open the Dictate Classic Layout while recording and transcribing.
  3. Once transcription and AI processing complete, the overlay should automatically close and revert back to the normal keyboard.

4. Bug Report: AI Prompts / Text Reverting Fails on Arbitrary Selected Text

• Problem: Applying custom AI prompts or text reverting on pre-existing highlighted text fails (takes no action) unless audio was transcribed within that immediate Dictate session.
• Expected Behavior: AI prompts and text modification tools in the Dictate Classic Layout should operate on any highlighted or selected text in the target field, independent of whether a voice transcription was executed prior.

Note: I used AI for this summarization in brief.
