Feature request: Separate hotkey settings for sentence/container vs single‑word translation

[oblominsk]

Currently, the translation hotkey settings (about 10 options, including :hover) apply equally to all translation modes. However, Sentence and Container modes are very similar, while Word mode serves a completely different purpose — especially for language learners who want to focus on vocabulary.

Suggested improvement:

Split the hotkey settings into two categories:

Hotkey settings for Sentence and Container translation.

A separate, identical set of hotkey settings dedicated to Word translation.

This allows users to configure different shortcuts depending on whether they want to translate full sentences/containers or just single words.

Benefit:

Language learners can assign a convenient shortcut for single‑word translation without interfering with sentence/container workflows.

This separation makes the tool more flexible and better suited for both casual translation and vocabulary study.

Right now, single‑word translation requires manually selecting a word. For active learners, this means performing hundreds of selections per day. Users will never truly learn the language as Copilot if they only translate full sentences. A dedicated hotkey for word translation would save significant effort and make vocabulary learning much more efficient.

I want to write an extended review.
I am most grateful to the authors. https://github.com/ttop32/MouseTooltipTranslator !!!
Reason : I'll start from afar.
You all (I'm sure) know that recently, around Chromium 120, a "USEFUL" window appeared in all browsers.

And inside MS, after a long discussion, they chose the most UNUSED button -- CRTL!
It is the CRTL that is included in a huge number of other button combinations.
MS is not interested in the fact that the vast vast majority of users do not use a microphone at all, and do not even have one at all.
The possibility of using other combinations is also excluded.
I'm not even thinking about going to the MS forums. It's useless to expect anything from MS.

And so I come to GitHub MouseTooltipTranslator and get the opportunity to "OVERRIDE", redefine this CTRL! .
At the same time, other button combinations remain working.
