🎉 First Stable Release: The Power Tool Edition!

This is the first major, stable release of Synt-E, transforming it from a simple interactive script into a powerful, system-wide utility that runs in the background.

✨ What's New

  • 🚀 Global Hotkey Activation: Synt-E now listens for a global hotkey (default: Ctrl+Alt+S) to translate selected text from any application on your OS. It's a true system-wide tool!

  • 🛠️ Advanced User Controls:

    • Configurable Hotkeys: Change the default hotkeys for translation and undo using command-line flags (--hotkey, --undo-hotkey).
    • "Append" Mode: Use the --append flag to add the translation at the end of your text instead of replacing it.
    • AI Task Cancellation: A new hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+C) allows you to instantly cancel a long-running AI process.
  • 🛡️ Enhanced Robustness & Safety:

    • Undo Feature: Accidentally translated something? You have 10 seconds to hit the undo hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+U) to revert the change.
    • Emergency Reset: A Ctrl+Alt+Q hotkey is available as a safety net to reset the keyboard in the unlikely event of a script freeze.
    • Audio Feedback: The script now uses distinct beeps to signal success, errors, and cancellations.
  • 📄 Finalized Documentation: The README has been completely rewritten to serve as a full user guide for all these new features.

This release is focused on user experience, stability, and making Synt-E an indispensable tool for anyone working with local LLMs.
