Additional configurations (multiple keybindings)

[sbeckeriv]

I set handy up to use my middle mouse click. And this worked great. That was until I took my laptop away without my mouse. Mac does not support middle click on the touchpad out of the box. I created a local branch that allows the reading of a configuration file to add in more shortcuts.

~/Library/Application Support/com.pais.handy/extra_bindings.json

[
  { "action": "transcribe", "binding": "mousemiddle" }
]

It is a small change that reads the file and creates ShortcutBindings without making the ui complex. It is a "power user" concept. The patch is small and I rebuild locally every so often. Is there a desire to support configuration based settings for "power users"? What additional settings could be used?

It might help this use case #1432

I'm generally okay with things hidden away from power users, for what it's worth. Mainly because the UI stuff can get a bit daunting, but if people are willing to modify their own configs, I'm slightly more open to this than other things.

In that case, would it make sense to add a edit JSON from the UI? Windows Terminal does that.
