Wrong character when typing “.” on non-Latin keyboard layouts (fix included)

[Bilmos]

Hi!

First, thanks for Whisper-Writer – it’s been really helpful. While using it on a Russian keyboard layout I ran into a long-standing issue: whenever Whisper-Writer prints a period (.) it actually types the Cyrillic letter «ю», and similarly other punctuation marks are wrong or missing.
Root cause

InputSimulator presses the physical key corresponding to VK_OEM_PERIOD without determining which modifiers are required for the *current keyboard layout of the target window. On a RU layout that physical key naturally yields «ю».
Minimal fix

Query the HKL of the foreground window

hwnd   = user32.GetForegroundWindow()
tid    = user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, None)
hkl    = user32.GetKeyboardLayout(tid)

For every character, call VkKeyScanExW(char, hkl) to get the correct virtual-key + modifier mask for that layout.

Press the returned modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) plus KeyCode.from_vk(vk) via pynput.

This way Whisper-Writer sends exactly the same key sequence a user would type manually, so punctuation is always correct in any layout (tested on RU, EN). It removes the need for layout switching, Unicode SendInput, or clipboard work-arounds.
