Keyboard shortcuts for different modes

Create the ability to switch between modes with keyboard shortcuts, or maybe a single base shortcut that allows you to select 0-9 to choose the specific mode. It's a bit painful at the moment to have to switch back and forth between modes by manually right clicking and selecting a mode.

After pressing ⌥ Shift K, it would be helpful to filter a mode by typing its name. While this is possible with Raycast, having this as a native superwhisper feature would be quicker.

It is very frustrating not having direct keyboard shortcuts to choose different modes without ⌥ Shift K.

I incorporated this functionality into the Alfred workflow, but it can easily be done with other apps, like Keyboard Maestro or even Shortcuts. The pieces are already there since there's a URL scheme for the app. All you need is the "key" of a given mode (you can find it in the JSON file of the mode, in documents/superwhisper/modes by default). Here's a shortcut that explains it better: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/88e731f57daa4c79b604b89dec1f839d

Commenting to bump this.

I've managed to do this with separate AppleScripts for each mode, which I activate via Raycast. And by adding the scripts to Raycast, can also add different keyboard shortcuts to start recording with each mode.
But it would be nice to have a 'proper' solution built in.

Please add the ability for the user to add a direct keyboard shortcut for each mode.
Users frequently have to switch between the modes and currently the only way to do this is to launch superwhisper, change/select the mode, then place the cursor back to where it was. It would be great if we could assign a keyboard shortcut that directly launches superwhisper in the assigned mode.

Isn't this already possible? Have a look at the attached screenshot.
What I struggle with is not being able to trigger dictation in a specific mode. As I switch a lot between English and German I constantly have to do:
- Trigger Superwhisper
- Press ⌥K to bring up the mode switcher
- Press one of the shortcuts for the mode
- Wait until the mode is loaded
It would be awesome to be able to trigger Superwhisper in specific modes somehow.
