+-- Bare AltGr (right Alt on the TypeMatrix) is the hold-to-talk dictation key
+-- here. Raw keycode 108 (KEY_RIGHTALT) so it matches in every kb group. Press
+-- starts, release stops; the scripts guard the daemon state so stray toggles
+-- (key repeat, missed release) can't invert it (see keybindings.lua).
+-- Kept per-host so machines that use AltGr for characters aren't affected.
+-- Bare AltGr (right Alt on the TypeMatrix) is the hold-to-talk dictation key
+-- here. Alt_R is the keysym right Alt produces under us,dvorak (pc's RALT);
+-- the se group remaps it to ISO_Level3_Shift for AltGr combos and is left
+-- alone on purpose. Press = start (modmask 0: Hyprland excludes the pressed
+-- key's own modifier), release = stop (modmask ALT: Alt_R is itself Mod1 and
+-- is still active while its release event is processed, so the release bind
+-- must carry ALT to match). The scripts guard the daemon state so stray
